    24-27 mpg sounds way worth it.

          lol so how much of an upgrade would a 2.93 be versus a 2.79 aka early ETA
          my diff is whining and its a 2.79 and i wanna upgrade to somethin better and tryin to avoid somethin that will make it unbearable to drive since its an autotragic.
          it also seems that i cant do better than 24mpg hwy no matter how i drive lol so im figuring the diff is a contributor to that

            Just reading this makes me wanna take out my Dinan chip and replace it with MarkD chip and replace my whining diff and smack a 3.25lsd if I can find one, it would pick up quicker but what about the top end? Will anything change on that? And idk if I have a 2.79 or 2.93 I'm pretty sure I got a 2.79

              It'll definitely help to go to a 2.93 but it's not going to make a huge difference. If you've got an automatic you'd benefit even MORE from going with a 3.25 diff since the auto trans has longer gears.
