4.10's

No doubt about it. I have them in my car and still ge between 19-25mpg. I drive this piss out of my car. I communte between Atlanta, Augusta, Tampa, and Naples. I also get sent all over for Army crap, Savannah, Alabama, Louisiana, etc. I have never once regretted that decision.


Well, I take that back, I regret not getting 4.30's.

I prefer my 3.73's. It all depends on what your future plans are for the car and what you're comforrtable with.

4:10's in my opinion. I have had 3:73's and 4:10's in the same 01 GT and the 4:10's are MUCH more fun.

I've driven both. My car has 3.73 and my friends has 4.10's. It's whichever you want. If you drive on the interstate around 70mph i really wouldnt want 4.10's. But im happy with my 3.73

I went with 3.73's in my Mach and have regretted it ever since. Wish I had gone 4.10 but I was scared to with an 80 mile round trip commute perday at 80 mph. I still jump between 4th and 5th way too much... 4.10 would have been perfect.

3.90 aren't made by ford racing and have a history of issues, look it up, harder material but not always good. Just go with 4.10

How much top end speed do you lose with smaller gears like 3.73 or 4.10?
