Mikeymike44 · Mar 27, 2017

I got a tbi 350 4l60e 4x4 suburban
6in rough country I'm got a 383 tbi for it and a 4l80e to go in it. I'm going 2 use this as my daily and tow my 73 vega drag car. I have a 91 square body suburban 383 tbi 4x4 4l80e and towing I get 22 mpg. What do u guys in think my 95 will be a good tow rig

I think you severely miscalculated your fuel mileage. You might want to look into picking up a 3/4 ton suburban. It will come with the 4l80e, a better real axle, bigger brakes etc. You can also find them with a 454 - though if your 383 is even mildly built it will out pull a tbi big block

I promise u the mileage on my 91 square body is 22 towing that's with a open car trailer with a pinto with a boss 302 tools and etc this is all on flat land, when I went up 2 co 2 race my rx7 blown ford bbc enclosed trailer I got worst I was in the middle teens going thru the mountains

Yeah, that MPG figure seems a little off. Are you sure the odometer is accurate?

Mikeymike44 · Mar 27, 2017

I get what ur say about the 3/4 ton tho
But I wanted 2 keep this sub since I already have it, once I get back home I'm going 2 sas it, but it's not gonna be towing crazy loads just open car trailer with the vega on with my gen and small tool box I have a crew cab 4x4 with Cummins for pulling the 2 car enclosed

Ya od is correct, my 95 get horrible mileage
But in my 91 everything is correct, I get 22mpg I've never got anything better than that tho

did you reset the odometer for the larger tire size and or gear ratio?

Mikeymike44 · Mar 28, 2017

Yes well my 91 is pretty stock but it has 20s and everything was Recalibrated for the 20s has 3.73s I think can't remember off hand and computer was changed for the 4l80e

Dam my stock 5.7 Vortec with 3:73 gears and 69K original miles best was 19.3mpg and that was going 60 and 63mph for 200 miles! Towing my camper which is 19ft and weighs 4300lbs loaded up best I got was 12.2 running 65mph. You sure you don't have that Cummins in your burb? lol

I would call Guinness about your mpg, they'll want to put this in their book lol.
