motive gears?
what do you guys think of them im liking the idea of 3.90's cause 4.10's will be too high rpms on the interstate and i drive on it pretty much 40 min a weekend and more on holidays.
and im talking when correctly, not when you took it to a ****ty shop
thanks

if 4.10 is to high then so is 3.90 - there is basically little difference.. so why not get the tad bit more ummph for roughly the same gas mileage...
4.10 really dont effect your mpg more than 3-5.. if at all - your driving habits are a much larger influence than the gear itself

Usually the N/A guys prefer the 4.10's and report a 1-2 mpg decrease.
Realistically, I get better gas mileage in my expedition than my 3.73 w/ boost.
I think they may be sugarcoating it a bit...

my GT when I had it, I saw no difference between the 3.27's and the 3.90's I had... until I punched it atleast.
The 3.90's aren't as hard out of first gear then the 4.10's and they have more pull up top then the 4.10's.

differnce between 3.90s and 4.10s are 100 rpms, my buddy gets 21 mpg with 4.10s and a t45 tranny, or about 1 better then my stock V-6
if you have a 01.5+ though you might want to look at even 4.30s

RE: motive gears?
reason i was looking at 3.90's was i didnt like the idea of a constant 2k rpms at 80mph but it sounds like they arent much different.
