Maybe they give you flatlanders the flat land ratio. I don't pay too
much attention to those monsters but my friends Ford Van used 4.10:1
ratio

Every time I see a 'burb loaded to the gunwales with people and
crap, and towing a boat/trailer I
gave a bit of

boxier body style but had EFI.

I have never seen a suburban with 4:10 gears. That is usually for 1 ton
trucks. Even with the taller gears you are not going to be able to
safely pull 10K lbs with a burb. I would check the codes and see if
that rear end is factory or if somebody changed it before you. I would
change to a

I have. Somewhat uncommon with the turbo trucks, but I've seen them, and
it was a factory option. They got miserable mileage for a turbo diesel.

The rear end ratio has nothing to do with a safety-driven weight
rating. Only with acceleration, wear and tear on a slushbox or
clutch, and fuel economy.

can bring the ML into the country, that is.

is it 3/4ton, 1 ton or? Don't let the label lead you astray, GM
overrates their vans a bit, since the load is carried more evenly over
the front wheels, a 3/4ton van is on what is more like a 1/2 ton PU
frame and axels and the same goes for their 1 ton which is more like a

BZT, WRONG. As I said before, I have never seen one that way, in
fact, I just checked and that is not even a stock option. Most of them
were 3:42, but 3:73 was also an option. If in fact his really has 4:10
