    I didnt think the auto's had 4.10 gears...With that low of a ratio I wouldnt think you would loose much power. I am running a 6spd with 33's and 3.73. I didnt notice hardly any loss going up one size. My '02 had 3.55 behind the auto.....

    I have 3.73's and noticed a little bit of get up and go power loss, but not too significant. I would think with 4.10's the RPM difference at highway speeds would be more beneficial:)

    Yeah, I ordered it with the 4:10's because I planned on 35's, just wondering about noticeable power loss after 35's.

    I didn't feel any difference nor did my speeds drop when pulling the hills I pull loaded... 4.10's = good.

    My 2001 1500 had 4:10's. I don't recall any bad results when going to 35's, but that was three trucks ago and it had a 360 ci with a supercharger added.
