I love my 4.10s compared to the 3.42's but what I was saying is unless it is just something you want to say you have it wouldnt really be worth the money. If you didnt already have a posi and was going to do one then it wouldnt eb that big of a deal because your already in there but I would spend that money elsewhere since you already have 3.73's and you wouldnt feel much at all. Thats why I said if anything got to 4.56's but you want some streetability. Even though some say it isnt bad at all!

4.10's are great but say you had 3.73's and a Posi already would you do 4.10's? If so how far up on the list would it be? Thats all Im saying. 4.10s are cool as **** but I was just saying the money could be used betetr somewhere else since he has 3.73's IMO!

The gears being through a few heat cycles is important, but also new bearings generate much more heat than used ones, which can overheat the metal and cause failure.

This is probably a dumb question, but do you have to change the gears in the front diff (on a 4x4) when you change the rear?
