no there are no tuners and the gear doesn't work. you need to get a speedcal from dallas mustangs. it works great and really easy to install. i would deff go with the 3.73 because of the auto. don't go lower though

if you have an auto.....trust me go with 4:10's....it makes an unbelievable difference, especially if you drive it regularly. If you put 3:73's on it you will regret it, it will kill your gas mileage. Most people will tell go with 4:10's aor an auto, and 3:73's for a manual

ok wth everything i have done to my car, even with the locker in rear end. I still get 24-25 miles to a gallon. You will not get that much with 3:73's i promise. My brother had them in his cobra, and they were back out after about 2 months just because of the decrease in gas mileage for every day driving.

IMO get 4.10s... ive seen many people get 3.73s because people said 4.10s ruin gas mileage... indeed it does but not by much. I lost like 1mpg with my 4.10s and i dont regret getting them. I do regret not getting 4.30s like dan told me but o well.

i could however see if he was going just fast enough to be in 4th but have 5th bogging, where as with 4.10s he could of been in 5th and not bogged and been fine, if that makes any sense to what im trying to say[&:]
