I asked that and i have an auto. They told me drive for a week with your overdrive off. If your fine with it then get 4.10 other 3.73 is still a great upgrade to get. When i get gears thats what i'm gonna get.

thats not even close with OD off and a 27" tall tire you will be turning 4000 rpms at 80 mph while with 4.10s in overdrive and a 27" tall tire you should be turning about 3k

they will both give you worse gas mileage. I belive that the stock differential is 3.55 for an auto. I could be wrong though, but I think that is what it is. anyway 4.10 is gona give you the worst of the two. I personally would go with 3.73... that is what i plan to go with, but its up to you 4.10 will accelerate a little faster, but give you worse top end and worse gas mileage, to me 3.73 seems like a good compramise, but all the guys on here with 4.10 seem to love it, but they also all have pics of them on the dragstrip too if you get what I am saying.
