Default How much is too much??

When it comes to gears...how much highway driving, let's say a month, is too much to have 4.10s?? At what highway mileage a month would you have to drive to make you consider going with 3.73s??

Thanks

Some say 4.10's are too much and Im not one. I drove from Central Texas all the way to Atlanta Ga with my 4.10's and I got 320-350 miles to the tank. I was a little below a quarter everytime I filled because LA, MS, & AL are three states that dont have many stops so I probably could have averaged better than 320 to the tank if I werent so scared of running out of gas and getting a$$ raped with a rusty drain pipe in the backwoods of one of those three states. LOL

HA. I knew you would be the first to reply because I knew you did a bit of highway driving with the 4.10s. Do you hear any whining when you drive on the highway? if so, at what speed does it start to whine? thanks

Yeah, my car whines but its because I bought MDValdosta's used gears. If you buy new ones and have them professionaly installed then you shouldnt get any while what so ever and if you do then they should warranty their work and replace them or shim them till they dont whine.
