I just got my "new" 4.10 into my 3/4 ton and its great. I wouldn't have thought that 11% or so increase would make such a difference, but its a lot less shifting in city traffic. I haven't been on the highway yet-still a bit afraid of my steering.

I'd like to thank all of the advice and input within this forum-both present and past on this subject. Its great learning how to do these things, and more importantly that they CAN be done.

Cheers.

Thats great news. I have been hunting a 4.10 for a while to do the same swap, without luck. I have giant tires on the back for now and they help quite a bit. I cant wait to get a new carrier in. My pickup looks like a dragster right now.

This change in gears is just as easy as they say if you have help with the bulky weight of the pumpkin.
11% does help with shifting in town but does not increase highway speeds as much as I'd like. It's these small changes that help to inch your way closer to the ride you want. I am determined, I'll get there!
