4.1 vs 3.73

One more thing popped into my head. Check to make sure the cables and emergency brake shoes are nice and loose. I had a problem with my 2000 4x4 a while back. Lubed the cables and loosened the adjusters. It feels much looser and pulls hills better. I noticed the drums and shoes expand a bit when warm, that's why I keep mine on the loose side.

Thanks for the great advice. The brakes were recently worked on and the fuel pump was replaced about 8 months ago. Sounds like I need to take it back to the mechanic and have the other stuff checked before I go messing with rear end ratios

When you bring it back to your mechanic ask him to loosen adjusters on e brake shoes. They never hold that we'll anyway. You'll feel your SUV rolling easier when you do. Seems to help mine some.
