RE: 3.73 gears?

Ive got 3.73's in my auto and really like them. They give the car a bit more ooomph. I never would have believed it unless I experienced myself, but combining the gears and the rest of my mods, I get a solid24mpg on the highway.

BUT, I didnt have the right outfit install the gears....I got gear whine when turning. [:-]

I just had 4:10s, UDPS and aluminum D/S installed and I still get 24 - 25 mpg on the highway. I love the mods. My head jerks going into 4th. Awesome.

Most likely 331 as mentioned before unless you got the upgrade. I went to 3.73 from 3.31 and noticed a change. I drive a lot of highway and no problems. You just seem to get up to 70 quicker![sm=smiley2.gif]

If you already have 3.55 gears, I wouldn't bother going to 3.73s. But if you have the standard 3.31 gears, then I would go for it!

RE: 3.73 gears?

Tripod, why are you having to replace your gears. I've been reading that alot of ppl are replacing there gerars, is this a problem with whoever is putting the gears on? or the type of gears you are getting?
