Yeah true. The cheapest quote I got around here was over $400. I'm going to get the truetrac and gears as soon as I can and just wait till I have the money for install.

I know I'm doing 4:10s, and I'm hoping that a better tune from VMP to replace the crap tune from AM (hate to say that but...) will help gas mileage, if I still get over 22-24 highway I'll be happy

If you are doing a lot of highway driving already with 3.73's, you might not notice much of a drop in MPG by moving up to 4.10's.

Nah, I got stock gears right now getting 26mpg on the highway with a crappy 93octane tune, don't drive highway enough to care though

I don't have 3.73's I just meant that was my first choice so sticking with that. I really can't decide. If I can keep above like 22mpg highway then I guess it'd be ok. The best I've ever seen is 28. I know with the larger, wider, heavier rim and tire combo I lost mpg already 4.10's will only lower it worse. I don't want to have a V6 getting 20mpg highway lol
