i've been searching and i can't find any 3.90 on ebay..........do you really prefer the 3.90 over the 3.73 for me? i know from looking at your signature that you have a manual... would it be ok with me to get 3.90 i still want traction you know.;

Not much difference in them maybe 150 to 200 rpm. I'll try to find who I bought my gears from and let you know.

Not who I bought mine from but they might have them if you contact them. Thats a better price than I paid. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ksid=p3907.m29 also you can get with some sponsors here on LS1.com they often price match. We need to suport or sponsors.

It's up to you, Get more feedback, I am by no means an expert. If you do get the gears make sure you get a good torque converter for your tranny. around a 3300-3500 stall is good for the street.
Also, Like I have said in many other posts, Save your money on a gear swap and buy a Moser 9". That is what I am saving for now. I wish I never would have done the gear swap in the Pyle of crap 10 bolt. I am afraid of running slicks in fear of snapping it in half.

nope, it is the stock stuff no lowering. Guess the way the road is, the shot makes it look lowered.

I went with 3.73 from richmond after a disaster with yukon gears.
I ordered them from jegs and they have been great.
if I would have had the money I would also have done the 12bolt or ford 9" but my rear was shot and had to get her running again.
She will flat out fly now although I have some traction problems now through 2cnd gear.I also am afraid of making the rear stick better for fear that I may throw a shoe out of the third member.

The best gears are American Axle and US gear... made in the USA.

Richmond, Yukon, Motive gears are sometimes made overseas. ( China )

I believe US gear and Strange are affiated.

My Motive Performance are made in Italy. There non-performance gears are made there.
