GearsI keep seeing this all over the forums about people upgrading theres to like 4.10's and that after you do a install like that you'll only be in first gear for a few seconds. Also if i Did this would there be any specific gear you change or all of them? |

I have a v6 so the stock gear numbers might be different for you not sure, but
stock 3.27 gears(ring and pinion in your rear dif.) your tires will go 3.27 rotations per 1 rotation of the driveshaft, but with 4.10 gears your tires will go 4.10 rotations per 1 rotation of the driveshaft. Hence you get much better acceleration.
