My third gear suck when going down the track. I was wondering if 4.10s would help that out any?

Someone didnt get traction lol!
Randys ring and pinion for gears, google them.. Buy OEM or Motive Gears, might wanna get rid of that stock LSD, they seem to be prone to failers around here lately
I suggest Eaton LSD or Detroit TRU TRAC.

Why stop at 133? Why not give parish more competition.

JK great times either way.

I hated 4.11s in my Chevelle, and love the 3.73s in the truck. But the truck obviously has taller tires plus the overdrive. I like the compromise of the 3.73s, they seem perfect for my use.

i found it simpler to get your ring n pinion from the people who are installing your gears. if you find a good mechanic, unless you are doing it yourself, they will generally sell you a good set of gears no problem. unless they arent being fair on price then go with above brands

After having 3.73 in just about everything I've ever owned. When I got my first overdrive trans (truck in sig) it felt like 3.73's, when I figured out what I really had I thought about changine to 3.73's, but the cost to do both at the same time was a bit to much for me at the time.

As soon2bspooled said go to you local gear shop if you want 3.73's. Ther are alot of people that want 4.10 and the gear shops usally have good used OEM gears.
