I have an LT3 with 4.10's as that was the only way I could get the G80 locking differential when I ordered mine. I find the 4.10's to be a nice addition for intown driving (helps to get the Tahoe moving easier) but if you are going to be driving a doing a lot of highway in your daily commute - you may want to look at the 3.73's to help lower highway rpm and increase milage.
I have just a tick over 1k on mine so far. Combined milage 50/50 highway/city for the last tank was 14.8 with the only highway road trip thus far (performed with around 450 miles on it) was 17.8 but was DEFITELY still breaking in.
I will be taking it for a 700 mile round trip in another 2 weeks and will have a better idea of what true highway milage will be then (highway speeds of 70 - 80mph)
After I get back I will be bolting on a Zoomer's Cat back exhaust that is supposed to be good for both additional ponies and milage and may help the 5.3 breath a bit better at highway rpms.
Hope that helps!
Todd

Straight up cash deal - just drove it home. Just to make sure this was the truck that my wife & I wanted, we walked the lot one last time and actually found an LT3 highly optioned that we considered with an MSRP of $50,700. He showed me the onvoice of that one at $46,660 and said he'd sell it for $45,660. Talk about tempting....and easy negotiating! We did stick with the original one though as wife really liked it.
 
As a parting word since we are about to move out of state, he said always just deal with the internet guys - they don't have the time to haggle and will usually get to the bottom line.
 
Hope this helps some people. And if for some reason you think I got a bad deal - I don't want to hear - I don't care

Looks like there are plenty of good deals going around! The only reason he said he couldn't make our deal any sweeter was because he had to trade for the car from another dealer. I literally almost bought the one on his lot just because it was such a big percentage off of list (much like the other deals posted here) but then I'd be buying it for the wrong reason!?!? All that matters is that I'm happy with our new ride
