Yeah my trac-lok has been toast for a minute so i figured i'd step it up a notch, and throw in some 3.73's while im at it.

Default Eaton and 3.73's Installed!

god i really didnt know what i was missing with that fried trac-lok! 3.73's are ridiculous and that Eaton is really locking it up! no more one wheel burn outs and its quiet like nothing was ever changed back there. im already getting alot more use out of 5th gear though, the rpms are kinda up there now but i can get use to it.

i'd still probably go with the 3.73's because the rpms between the two wouldnt be that noticable and more accereration is always good. at 70mph its about 2200rpms, 80mph it was like 2500rpms in 5th.
