It will go down a good bit. I would guess in the 17-18 range.

14

AWD
and 4:10s
that could cause a drop, what do you think i will get with 3.73s and stock everything else.
shouldnt be that bad man.depends on the tire size too. but youll be alright
I will start posting some pictures when i go pick up the motor next month, thanks for the help.
if you are swapping a 6.0, why would you even be worried about mpg. you want good mpg, get 3.23s and 31 inch tires
