Waiting on your mpg answer... With my 3.73 at 70 I am 1800rpm's... 15mpg highway.... Still trying to decide if re-gearing is viable... Very interested in the power....

I'm hoping the 4.56s will give me some better mpgs in city and not affect my hwy miles to bad but I really just want more get up and go! If anyone knows the mpgs for this set up let me know. Thanks

Email Wayne at diffsonly.com, he will get you the best price on the net for Yukons by far (way less then advertised on his site too). I ordered front and rear sets plus master install kits from him.

Find a reputable driveline shop to install, and your set. Ran me about $1550 total.

Mpg in the city is much better as long as you aren't flooring it. Highway mpg is entirely dependent on your tire weight and how fast you drive. I drive 65mph, with 81 lb Toyo MTs I was getting mid 14s. With my current 64 lb Duratracs I am get 17 mpg hwy.

Regardless of what brand you end up with, what your looking for in that statement you made above the 4:56's will deliver and I find it extremely hard pressed to think that you wouldn't enjoy them.

I can give a guestimate if that helps any. I know with mine if I run 70 I am mid to high 2000's. I have NOT gone over 3000 just casually driving. But like I said in another thread, I have no need to go over 70 so when someone asked that, I honestly have no idea what mine reads above 70.

How much did you pay for just the gears and install kits if you don't mind me asking?

I ran my 456 with 35's for a while and honestly think I burned more fuel than ever just because suck high rpms on high way and just normal driving. I am running 456 with my 38's now and love it! I also have mods and custom tunes from troyyer though. I can still spin my tires down no problem and still does great in 4x4 in the mud
