i've got 3.73s now and i'd definitely get 4.10s installed if i didn't have to pay another $500 for a gear swap.
I wouldnt advise it or you'll be spending another 500 bux smaking yourself in the head saying " why did I put 4.10's in ? "[sm=trust_me.gif]

and i never will. it's because of this forum that i got 3.73s to begin with. listening to people who 9 times out of 10 don't even have gears giving gear advice based on hear-say.

The ones giving advice on hear-say are those I prefer to address as "Bozos".

IMO based on personal experience with a manual V8 and an automatic V6, 4.10s are perfect for both.

Labor costs are the only thing holding me back from getting gears...

and another 200 if you get a t-lock. plus I don't know of any shops yet that I'd trust to do work like that.

no no no, 200 for labor all that is not including the gears, you need to pay for labor, then the kit to install them dont know how much that is probably around 100 but i have no clue, then the diff fluid which is about $15, then gears and a t-lok are 400[&o]
