BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ WRONG
God, how many times do I have to say this. I have 4.10's and have traveled all over the Pacific Northwest with them. I average a little over 23 MPG with them
GO 4.10'S OR GO HOME!

if you already have 3.73s, i wouldn't spend the money on another gear swap. i got 3.73s too listening to a bunch of people giving advice on something they know nothing about. just keep the 3.73s, unless you're getting a damn near free install.

Yea, me to, but I do a butt load of hwy times, and every little bit of gas I can keep means somthing to me, because that's that much more I can sacrifice to my engine.[8D]

then both of u can PM me the cost of gears and keep your stockers, because that is all your doing is wasting your money on this. even though jthorn is goin with heads so he might need them.
