I kind of agree with "808muscle" and "casey4s". I have a 08GT/CS that came stock with 3:55's. Had them changed to 3:73's last year and graduated to the 4:10's this year. 4:10's are great if you are a spirited driver that has a Mustang for that very reason, fun spirited driving, and don't get me wrong I love my 4:10's and would not go back, but 3:73's are a great compromise between comfort, economy and performance, especially if you're going to be doing alot of highway diving. It all comes down to what you are looking for....

I believe those are only offered by motive.
Motive gears for the loss.

Yuck.

I have 4.10s and I drive about 50+miles on the hwy at least 5 days per.week. I don't regret for one second getting the 4.10s.

Thanks
Nothing else changing (e.g. SC or Turbo) 4:11 for stick and 3:73 for auto.

My AT cruises at 80 on the hwy at about 2500 rpms.

Yukon makes some great gears too BTW.

I had 2 sets of Motive installed in my car and couldn't stop the whine. I have FRPP-A gears now which are a lot better.
