Lol, you guys suck, I've got 3.90's and I've got an AOD that doesn't see a lot of highway driving (90% of the time I'm doing 55), and it is driven daily. But anyways, with the AOD and 3.90's I'm turning about 2900 rpms at 75.

i'd say go with the 3:73's... my car has 170,000 miles on it with the original clutch, and like i said, just about all of the miles on my car are highway miles and it still runs strong and i have no problems with it.

if i get 3.55s i wont burn much more gas that stock.. so what ur sayin is w/ 3.73 i wont burn much more gas than the 3.55s and w/ the 4.10s i wont burn much more gas than the 3.73s... it all adds up.. vicious cycle but the 4.10s are much more than stock or 3.55s
