3.73 or 4.10 ?
I bought my car with 4.10 gears. I was wondering if 3.73 would be better, i hear alot that 3.73 is better for 5spd and that 4.10 for auto. I'm thinkin that it would give me just a tad bit better gas mileage too.

I think a 4.10 in 5th gear vs 3.73 in 5th is like 200 rpm's (or close) difference.
If you already have 4.10's id just keep them for a while and see if you like it or hate it.

Really in my honest opinion, if you comute to work a good distance on the freeway/highway 3.73's would save some gas. If you don't drive far to work or on city streets 35-45 mph go with the 4.10's
Or if you dont care about 2-3 MPG just go with the 4.10's just make sure if you do go with 4.10's you get a good exhaust cause if you get junk h pipe/cat back the drone from the mufflers will make you wish your head would explode from going 70 mph+ for any long period of time.
Personally I like the 4.10's cause when I get on it, it pulls like a mother. 3.73's are still good, really just depends what you are lookin for. Or you can do 4.10's untill you get 300+ RWHP and goto 3.73's.
