Default GEARS

well ive been thinking about gears, i often have to do like 40 minute trips on the highway and what not so i didnt want to go with 4.10's due to loosing gas mileage so i was thinking about 3.73's. anybody have 3.73's? just wondering if they where worth the money and if it was a big difference. I was also thinking about 3.90's which i think im leaning more towards, also are there any specific brands that would be better then others i was looking at motive's on AM.

I have 3.73 and think they are great. I would go with the same if you are doing that much highway driving. And yes, you will feel a difference.

lots of highway driving and highway racing go with 3.73s or 3.90s, theyre off like a couple hundred RPMs at most
