how do they feel compared to stock?was it a noticable difference?im on the fence on 3:73 or 3:90s
get 4.10s.. you will be much happier i promise
whatever you do, DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT listen to HOSS 4.10's arent worth it at all. unless you dont like 1st gear or like traction at all for that matter. 4.10 IMO are overrated. 3.7's or 3.9's are plenty if you build your car right.


=P hehe HOSS302
lol u *****.. get on aim lmao

i left the dealership sideways and my gears are great.. theres not break in period for new cars.. why should there be for new gears.

i think shops tell u to break em in to cover there own *** if something breaks

I got 3.73's put in last week too. I was told the same thing. Let them break in for around 500 miles so that the gears have time to lash together. I absolutely love 3rd gear. Feels like an endless amount of torque. I'm going to give it two tanks of gas to check my mileage with all the recent mods and then I'll be ready to let her rip...
