Default I have 3.73, Are you kidding?

damn I just checked my rear end code and I the GT4 code so I guess I got 3.73 I thought it was like 3.23 or something. I was hoping to wake this puppy up with some 3.73s but I guess not...I guess I need to find a set of 4.10s so if someones got any lemme know...

Don't forget to change the front gears along with the rear. Is going 4:10's from 3:73's even worth the money for the swap?

I liked the results from 3.73 to 4.10 swap. Really a noticeable difference. Wish I had done 4.56. I didn't swap gears in the front. Just found a low mile diff with the 4.10's already in it.

spend the money somewhere else. 3.73 is a good gear.

I like the pulling power I have w/ 4.10's, but at 80 mph I'm at almost 3,000 rpm. ouch

also too guys remember my truck is a 5 speed...its def over geared in my opion...its like a rocket ship in reverse...Im just wondering if I do 4.10 it will be enough...hopefully I plan to lower the truck somemore and put smaller tires so I know that will help a little bit...what the next step from 4.10s? 4.56?...

One time i saw to stock Chevy trucks of same year, same body style, same motors drag race at the 1/8 mile track, the only difirence between them was one was 3.73 and one was 4.10.

They both had almost identical times! The 4.10 truck jumped off the line but, the 3.73 would real him in... This happened multipule times... I think you could spend money on better mods than 4.10's unless you plan on towing lots or going with a taller tire.
