Default Gear Swap 3.73 OR 4.10

hey whats up guys i have some questions along with a poll im getting ready to do a gear swap because im tired of getting raped from a dig lol ,

so i need to upgrade but im not sure , btw this is my slight work truck and my DD ,
so we have to take account for that, right now i have a 3.42 and everyone is telling me to go with a 3.73 but i was thinking just go all out and get a 4.10

i have a couple of questions if i get a 4.10 how will my 2nd gear be on highway can someone tell me i tried using that calculator thing but i diddnt work out for me

I voted 3.73-
I think I read on here that the difference between the two is only one tooth on the gear.

I'm kinda of in the same boat as you, but I think I'm leaning towards 3.73's with a stall. Probably not a good option for you being a DD (mine isn't).

Anyway, good luck in your choice.

We'll need to know your tire diameter to make a real educated vote....

3.73 if it's a work truck and daily driver. You'll hate that gas milage from a 4.10 after a while. A 245/70R/17 is small enough tire for a 3.73 in a rcsb 2 wheel drive if your looking for a little bit of everything ( daily drive ability, fuel milage, and from a dig)

I got 4.56 with my 4.8. I think 4.30 gears would be perfect with a 5.3 and 30" tall tires.
