Finally installing my 4.10's on Saturday!!!!
Cant wait!!!!
I think I've got everything. Only thing is I only have 2 bottles of royal purple gear oil and I think I read somewhere that its actually 3. If anybody knows post it up. I've got the install kit w/ new bearing kit, friction modifier and gears. If anybody needs a good full kit check out late model restoration that's where I got my kit, it comes w/ everything. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Probably not, most Royal Purple gear oil has the friction modifier blended in. But it would nt hurt to add some if your worried about it.

Install is done, everything went well. All I have to say is WOW. I cant put it into words. If you live in the city, this should be your #1 mod. Its amazing. it makes the car sooooooooooooo much easier to drive. And it pulls like hell. everything you read about highway revs is true, 80mph is right around 2900 or so rpm's. I'm sure my highway mileage will drop a bit but at this point I can definitely justify it with the performance. Its really amazing. I would say it feels about = to the gain you get form a CAI/tune.

I have my 4.10's waiting to be put on. The performance shop I'm taking it to has advised against replacing all the bearings/seals because my car only has 10,000 miles.
GTItoGT, how many miles were on your car when you got the gears installed? Did your installer recommend any break-in period?

Man, I want to do a set of gears so bad. I may be able to do it at the shop on base and save myself a lot of money. The guys at the shop said they would be able to help me and they have all the tools that I may need.
All I would have to pay for would be the parts.
