I think you're missing the point here YellowPony. 1). Misinformation is the mainstay here. 2) Everyone's an authority. I asked you what gears and you said 4:10s.....you use them....I trust your advise. You're not too sharp on "switched" electrical questions but for the most part you're near correct on the rest.

OMG!!!!! Did I say that?

3.73's are just fine. they give excellent acceleration compared to 3.27's and return good mileage

while others report jnhalf decent mileage with 4.10's i can say that i had crappy mileage with them. the best i could muster was 22mpg on the highway and averaged about 18.5 combined. that is not good mileage. maybe my car didn't like them or my style of driving or the hills of SW PA but all i know is that i settled on 3.73's and really like 3.45's the best

if you live in an area with little hills then get the 4.10's. if you have alot of hills then get 3.73's or 3.45's as they seem to give really good mileage and power
