My 3.73's should go in hopefully soon, diff girdle is sitting on my front porch as fedex delievred today(????) which never happens and I have a stud kit and lube locker reusable gasket coming hopefully next week. After that I'll look into getting them installed.

I love mine. Eliminated all wheel hop, just have it tuned, cause your speedo will be off a good 10 mph. BTw, I average roughly 21-22 all in town with the gears/tuner/intake install. With the factory 3.55s my best was only around 20.


DOOOOOOO IT
How did gears make your gas mileage go up?

Your highway mileage will take a hit, but your city mileage might actually go up because the engine doesn't have to expend as much energy to get up to speed. I'm talking real city driving, not my kind of city driving which involves making two stops in a 30 mile drive.

I guess 4.10s allow the tires to slip more which = no hop

4.10 = better city milage(for me roughly 21.5-22 all in town--which is about a 15 minute ride to work each way, through 13 stoplights, 8 miles each way)

Averaged 24.5 on the highway running 65-75mph going to the lake today--approx 1 hr each way.
