Default 4:10s are in

First a thank you to all of the help of these forums . I had my FRPP gears installed by the dealer on friday , I had to have my clutch pack replaced and while they were in the rear end I had the gears installed and it wound up being $75 bucks with me supplying the gears ...hell they did not even charge me for the new pinion bearing . I took the car on about a 600 mile trip to the mountains this weekend and all I can say is that if you are thinking about this mod...DO IT... Gears are as quite as factory...tech done a great job and the fun factor is over the top . First gear seems to go by pretty fast but pulls like a ***** ...rollin along about 15mph and stomp it and it will just smoke them ...hold till about 6200 and bang 2nd she is sideways Man this is a great mod ...Now on to the next one. And one more thing I like is that 5th gear seems like a good cruising gear around 50 now

Sounds good. I thought Ford dealerships wouldn't install lower gears because of emissions issues, so maybe I'll give them a call. Thanks for the info!

I called two of my local Ford dealers and neither one would put 4.10s in my car. A local shop that specializes in gears quoted me $625 for the gears and insall. I thought that price seemed a bit steep.

seems right with the gears

advantagest to 4.30s over 4.10s? just a little bit, your mpg would drop probably another half mpg and you would be 150 ish rpms higher
