Default New Gears In!!

Well i just got my truck back with the Motive 4.10's in and all i can say is wow! going from 3.23 to 4.10 made a HUGE difference in acceleration. I bet i shaved almost a second off my 1/4 time. im gonna let them break in before i hit the track. if anyone is thinking of doing a gear swap.. DO IT!!!!

Yea i wish i would have got the true track. i didnt think that my truck had enough power to give me traction issues but now i see how much the 3.23s were holding me back. i now have a severe case of 1 tire fire! im definately gonna get one installed before the Radix goes on.

Where did you buy your gears and how much if you don't mind me asking. If it is a non-sponser could you please PM me.

Thanks

I know i'm not the TS. but i have 4.10's in my rcsb and it gets no less than 20mpg. Mixxed driving. Mostly highway i got 22miles per gallon bout 3 weeks ago driving like i said long distance mainly highway.
4.10's don't hurt mileage as much as alot of people think they do.
