I believe you will be just fine with that gearing.3.73 is only available with the 5.0 in conjunction with the max towing package. Not worth buying a $1,000 option upgrade that I don't need. 3.31 it is...
I have the 164” SCab 8’ 4x4 and this thing will just walk all over
my 98 k1500 5spd/3.73 as far as accelerating.
I cannot honestly say how it may react to dragging or carrying heavy loads, but I am really not all that concerned about it.
Extreme use of my new truck will be limited for quite some time as I will still use the old one for heavy, dirty work.
I am still pretty confident that the truck will do everything I will ask of it when required for those few out of the county trips.
