You might wait until the Z71 option comes out as it may have flares. I did see some aftermarket flares on-line but don't remember vendor.

Deciding between rear end ratios? by chile96

Trying to decide between 2 LT3 tahoes: with the major difference being one has a 4.10 gear ratio while the other has the 3.73 Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill but I don't want to screw it up so I'm solliciting advice.
 
The 4WD Tahoe is going to move us from Atlanta to Midland, TX with U-haul trailer in tow. In Midland, it will be a daily driver with the occasional trip to the hunting lease but mostly city driving(no tow). Then it will move us to Dallas in December with U-haul in tow as well then we're going to sell it(purely a 3rd car that won't be necessary anymore).
 
So, what rear-end ratio would work best for me?
 
Thanks in advance.

Personally I would go with the 3.73 based upon the info you provided. Better gas mileage and the 4.10 only gives you 1,000 lb higher trailer capacity. The 4.10 will give you better acceleration though at the expense of higher engine rpms at cruise speeds and lower mpg. Hope this helps.

Has anyone heard anything on GMC 20" Chrome availabilty? I don't understand why GMC would have all these aftermarket goodies in brochures and website and then not make them available.

Thanks for the info on the removal. What is the best way to remove those press nuts?
 
Well I ordered two off a guy and he sent me two different sizes. I am assuming that one if for the front and the other is for the rear. I got mine from Gear Jammin Accessories on Ebay. They were about $30 a piece plus shipping.
 
Now having second thoughts about the chrome. I saw a pic of a black bowtie paired with a chrome grille and it looks good. Do you have any pics of your chrome bowtie?

Unless you want to pull tree stumps, the 373's will work just fine, they will also give you slightly better GPM. IMHO The 410's are too low for most of us, they do increase trailer capacity by 1000 lbs, but if you really need that extra capacity, the Tahoe is probably the wrong choice.

I pulled the biggest U-haul trailer across country, loaded down and had no problem with an '02 Tahoe 5.3L with 3.73's. In fact, I rarely even needed a downshift out of OD until I hit a couple big hills in WV. I'd only buy the 4.10's if I was planning to tow near the max capacity on a regular basis.

Cecook --
 
I just reached in with a small socket wrench - 10mm. Nut was barely more than hand tight. (I misspoke when I called it a press nut. It's a regular nut, but pressed out of sheet metal. You'll see.)
 
I was thinking about a black bowtie too. I also added chrome grill and chrome tow hooks. I like it, but was thinking the black bowtie might have been a better choice, just didn't see any out there... I'd post a picture, but can't figure out how to do that yet.
 
Let me know if one of your ordered bowties turns out to be for the rear. I'm dying to find one of those...
