What size tire are you running? Are you lifted? Are you going to get a bigger tire?

The top end will suffer a little with bigger gears but your drive train will work more efficiently.

Here is a really good link, first page shows how they are done, second contains a lot of useful info on gears.

The 4.10's will help your truck out alot. IF it has stock tire size or under 35's

The 4.10's and stock tires will hurt you mpg when on the highway (65+ mph) But all in all you could possibly see an overall of 2-5 mpg increase.

If you do plan on going to a larger tire (35's) then you might want to look at 4.56's or possibly 4.88's if you plan on going 37's or bigger

4.10's will work nicely for you. id give them a try

remeber the rear axle is a 9.75 and the front is an 8.8R (reverse cut gears are needed)
