Location: Watertown, MN | Another big think is the rear end gear will have a big impact on the tranny, would recommend the 6 speed. Had a 5.3 Avalanche and has 3 trannys on transfer, had high gear and dealer said no problem, after 3rd tranny, dealer was like it was not a good pulling gear. Look for 3.43 or lower is what I remeber is the gearing you would like for pulling. I agree with bob though the Ford engine much more low torque and more snapping, the 5.3 was a dog and did not have passing power, believe was 3.73 for meeting GM CAFE requirements.
