Is this a good idea?
alright, I don't really do any off-roading, nor do I haul trailers, I haul lawn mowers and furniture some, but I was wandering if it would be okay to swap to 3:73 ratio to get better fuel economy, is there a reason I should keep the 4:10s? I was wandering if they put that gear in b/c I have an auto tranny, and removing it would cause issues...
thanks guys

with him having a 3.0 it would be WELL worth it. It wakes the truck up and improves MPG. I went from 15city to almost 19 and 19hwy to almost 25 with my tuner.

i recommended it because its A: simple to install B: will give you the same increase in millage that going from 4.10 to 3.73 as well as giving you more torque and power C: its fully reversible in 5 mins if you sell the truck so you can get something like 50% of your investment back

I don't have the 400 bucks for a tuner. I have a junkyard near me that I can get a whole axle, hub to hub for 40 some bucks. I figure I get a 4.10 8.8 rear and grab the front out of the same ranger and I'll be set. I don't care if the speedos off. Just flow with traffic and you'll be fine! Lol
