These old trucks can haul basically anything. These things are lasting the test of time. ;-)
Holy thread dig batman!I agree and for your situation, even worst case scenario shouldn't cost more than $2000 to fix. New engine or transmission are relatively cheap compared to buying a newer truck outright. These trucks are built tough, even if something does go out you should be able to limp to an auto shop and not have to be towed.
and I agree 4.56's would make a huge improvement and not work that engine and trans nearly as hard.
Yeah, to be totally honest, -almost- every single 8 lug 2500 I've ever owned or worked on, 4.10's all day long. The one exception I can recall is a '91 RCLB 350/4L80E that had 3.73's, was a bare bones Cheyenne with a flatbed. On the other hand, all the 6 lug 2500's I see tend to be 3.73's.

Not really Niether gear set is considered more "heavy duty" than the otheradding to the thread revival, my 96 burb 454 has 3.73s also. 8 lug, 14 bolt, everything heavy duty, but 3.73. i was hoping for 4.10s, but of course cant get what you want.
i can guess that since its a suburban, it was meant for family hauling/towing, so itd have taller gears instead? i dont know.....
