I do alot of highway driving I drive about 70 miles to work and back. will the 4.10s kill my mpg? I know the 4.10 will give me the best performance but I dont want to kill my money on gas thanks Gene

Gene what Tiburon said!! My MPG suck *** right now!!! and I got the 3:73's $10 only last me one day and $20 last me about 2 1/2 days. Just filled her up today with $20 and it's at half a tank. By saturday I'll fill up again. But performance go with 4:10's. It's only like a gallon or 2 in difference in the ratios and a couple of tenths in your E/T!!

4.10s will make a noticable difference over 3.73s performance wise, but there is not too much of a difference in the gas mileage between the two. I would say go with the 4.10s, I love mine. Like Tiburon said, if you are wanting to highway race, go with the 3.73s.

When i do mine the choice will be between 390 and 410. I dont do much highway driving, mostly just around town. 410 would be nice for acceleration, but anything has to be better than these damn 342s i hve now

Going from 3:42 to a 3:73, you wont notice a different, mpg or acceleration. Ive gone down this road before and jumped to 4:10s and then I could notice the acceleration. Save your money and go straight to 4:10s, you will wish you did if you go 3:73s. What about a torque converter?

go with the 4.10 or 3.90. I had 3.42 in old truck and went with 4.10 then to 3.73 then back to 4.10. Gained .5 in the 1/4 over the 3.42 and lost 3/10 in the 1/4 after going with 3.73. I also got 21mpg on the hwy with a 4.8 ecsb truck. driving at 80mph no wot lol
