3.73s - lower rpms on highway
4.10s - good pick up

GO 4.10s

I dont know much about gear ratio numbers, but i heard that the 4.10's make your car quicker than compared to the 3.73's.
As for me, I have the 3.73's and I've had them in the (car's) rearend for five years now, I have a heavy foot and i love to
drive plenty fast. Plenty of burnouts and plenty of punishment, belive me they are reliable.

Yea, 3.73s are what you are probably going to want if you do a lot of hwy time, and 4.10s if you only make short trips around town with a little hwy time. 4.10s will offer a little more get up and go, but will also cosume about another 1 mpg more than 3.73s.

4.10's or go home.

Edit: LISTEN to the people that actually HAVE gears... I've got 3.73's in my Gt and if the cost to swap them out wasn't too expensive, I would go with 4.10's in a heartbeat.

Yes, so many people get on here and start spreading this and that about stuff they only hear about... Please only let them know how it actually is if you have experience with the subject or if it is just known facts...

4.10

driven both 3.73 and 4.10, 4.10 are worth it, auto or manual doesnt matter. hell i wish they made 4.30s for the 7.5 rear end.
