I'm assuming since you're taking the job on yourself that you know what you're doing.. not probably something a person who doesn't feel comfortable with tools should tackle.. do your homework, get new parts (crush sleeves, etc) take your time, work in a clean space, and you'll be good.
well gears are a torque multiplier... which means the higher the gear number the greater the force you'll have to move your car with. a lot of people who get 3.73 do sometimes regret it and switch to 4.10s. 4.10s are awesome and I love mine. I do interstate driving everyday also. The decision is mostly in how you drive and what your future plans are for your car. If you plan for Forced Induction for your future than you wanna go with 3.73s most likely. When I had my stock gears I use to go 80 mph on the interstate everyday. When I got the 4.10s I started doing 70 mph and got the same gas mileage. Nobody can tell you what gear is right for you, it's all personal preference. I will tell you though if I get on my car a lot the gas goes QUICK.06silverstangGT said:I am wanting to do a gear change and am considering going to the 4.73 gears as well. Any information you can provide about your decision making process would be appreciated. It seems to me that I would get enough torque to feel it, but still be able to do my everyday freeway driving without running too high RPM's. Am I thinking right?????? Thanks.
I dunno if you seen my previous post, 3.73 are great for freeway driving, but 4.10's can be also.. it's all in how you drive the car.stang_man_1 said:Thanks guys. I'll probably have someone do it. Any idea how much it will cost. Would this ratio be the best for me. I do a lot of freeway driving.
How did you set the preload on the crush sleeve? Did you have an inch pound torque wrench?Justin03GT said:i got used FRPP 3.73s, did the install going in blind having never done it before, used the old crush sleeve, no special tools were needed, although a set of air tools does help...did the install in 3 hours which included 2 trips to parts store for sockets i didnt have...its not THAT hard to do...if you are mechanically inclined you should be able to get them in just fine and not have them whine...like i said mine were used and i didnt set the backlash with a mic, just by feel and they dont whine, clunk or do anything odd...
