RE: Getting 4.10's
Get ready to notice a gas milege diff! Hey why can't you use 3.73s in an automatic? Dang thats too bad you get caught to easy when at high speeds. Around here when we are going that fast and the cops "try" to catch up and get us we just run faster and get away. But you can't beat the radio but these cops haven't figured out what those are yet I don't think. I would rather have 3.55s or 3.73s but thats just me, I wouldn't like not being able to get up to 100+.... eewwyy! no sir!

RE: Getting 4.10's
Well I am getting gears in the near future and cant decide between 3.90's and 4.10's. Im not really concerned with the top end but I have to drive from Texas back to south Florida when I get out of the Army soon. Are the gears going to cost me an a$$ load of gas money over 1500 miles? should I wait to get back to Florida and change them there? On my trip here I had to fill up 5 or 6 times if my memory serves me right.

RE: Getting 4.10's
Bro., are you not going to loose any top speed with 4.10's. Our cars are geared too tall from the factory. You will actually gain a few mph's on top, because you will be able to access more power. Just get a reflash, or speed cal, try it...have a nice day, because having acceleration, & top speed is the win
