410's are awsome,but 373's are more highway friendly,its a good gear!!

You've been around long enough to know that there are a million threads about this. I would say if your really concerned about gas mileage, go with 3.55's. Otherwise, deffinetly 3.73's or 4.10's.

what gears are behind your AOD now?

 

[stangguy50]

whatever stock were in 84. "3.27:1"? does that sound right?

not sure about 4 eyes, but aero foxes could have 2.73s, 3.08's and 3.27's behind them (the latter in autos). I would count DS to tire rotation ratio to be sure of what you have. otherwise, a jump from 3.27 to 3.55's is a lot less than a jump from 2.73's to 3.55's (helps you know what to expect).

good luck.

thanks im thinking prolly 3:73 cause they are more of an all around

ive been told that 3.73s are better for aod and 3.55s are better for manuals. i wish the guy i bought my car with put 3.73s in instead of 3.55s.

Got my traction lock rebuilt, new axles, bearings, seals, 3.73s installed for around 650.00 here... Might sound high, but this guy is the shi znits and stands behind all his work... I will happily pay for the best.

355's or 373's should give you what your looking for in that AOD

That's not high. I should have my car back from the shop with 3.55s in it. I bought the gears and trac-lok rebuild seperate, and they bought everything else, and did all the work. My total comes to $882.32. Yeah, I think I got

The damn gears better not have any type of "whine" to them lol.
