I know it's Fleabay but would this be a good choice for gears? CHEVY GM 8.5" 10-Bolt Gears 4.10 / 4.11 Ratio & Master Bearing / Install Kit NEW

I don't even see the brand of the gears or bearings. I would suggest Ron's Machine. He used to be a vendor on here but not sure if he still is.

I looked at it on my phone and I thought they were GM but I see now that they are not... I will checkout the other link. Thanks KC-kid.

Anyone in this thread do a gear swap on a 6.2L truck? A few people talked about it but I'm not sure I read that anyone did it.

I've been juggling the idea of going to 4.10s in my truck for a while and think this thread might be the tipping point for me but I'd like to hear from someone who's done it.

Current setup: '12 1500 6.2, 6L80, 3.42s, and 33" all terrains on factory 20"s with long tubes, magnaflow, intake tube, and a tune. I usually cruise between 70-75mph and I know it could use a few more rpm to make the engine happier. I'm currently getting 16mpg highway and 12-13mpg in town and about 14 combined. I know most of that is due to my heavy foot and my 2" level kit. If it could improve with gears I'm all for it plus the added responsiveness.

Not 4.10s but should be helpful reading for you.
