You'll notice about 1 to 2 MPG difference with those gears as you'll run at higher RPM's than on 3.73's. The 4.10's are basically for towing. In fact, getting that option I believe requires the heavy duty cooling option as well (for towing). _____________________________ --bjaber San Jose, CA (in reply to WCURoverD90) Post #: 2

I'd only recommend 4.10's for towing large trailers or boats or other heavy loads. _____________________________ --bjaber San Jose, CA (in reply to WCURoverD90) Post #: 4

I wanted the 4.10 gears b/c better to get them now then later when they will cost more just to install. Also installed an airraid system more mods to come next week.

Sorry I didn't read it right. Maybe the ones I drove had a bit of a lazy gear in them or wimpy because they were new and not broken in. (in reply to uncle bill) Post #: 10
