Yes. Ask me how I know. I hate 3.08s they don't get better gas mileage as the dealer will advertise. I've had the 5.3 with 6spd for almost 7 years now. Don't care enough to regear, but will never buy a truck with that gear set again.

Oh the truck will pull 7000+ lbs if you have the hd cooling system, that's no problem, but you will notice the loss in "power"

i had a 2010 GMC with 3.08's. It got good mileage but sucked once you latched anything to the receiver. Get the higher gears.
