To anyone w/ 4.10 or lower gears....
I am wanting to install a set of 4.10 gears and upgrade to a limited slip diff. but don't want a wine or roar while driving. What kind of gears do you have and do they make a noise?? I think i am going to go with the ford limited slip unit b/c i dont' go offroading....just need better traction at the drag strip. Any insight would be appreciated.

I had 4.10 gears put in our Expedition (which we no longer own) to replace the 3.55 non-LS that came from the factory. With the factory gears and over-sized tires I was running, the Expy would downshift to 3rd on the slightest incline. When the 4.10s were installed, the downshifts went away and fuel mileage actually went up. Unless you have a similar situation, I doubt you'll see a mileage increase. With the 4.6L, 4x4, Superchip, true dual exhaust, K&N air filter and airbox mod, we got about 20MPG on a long highway trip from Okla. to Virginia. Running around town, mileage was somewhat worse at 15MPG.
Oh yeah- the gears were perfectly quiet. Absolutely no noise whatsoever. The Auburn LS would occasionally "pop" but it was pretty rare. Traction was terrific.

Noise, what noise
Ok, i really don't understand you guys talking about noise coming from your gears.. any gear you get is pretty much going to work the same once broken in.. I'm driving around with 456's that I bought from west coast diff's but i've NEVER heard anything from my diffs, just my tires and exhaust...

I have ran 4.56 percision gear and sierra gear and both were set up exact to spec. and pattern ran perfect and both had the whine with light on and off of the gas. I would use 8.8 Ford Racing gears from Summit in 3.55,3.73,4.10,4.30,4.56 all for 189.95, assuming factory would make a quiet gear.

precision gear and an auburn posi. love the setup from where i was prior-3.31 and open. but, they do whine. im bringing it in friday to get it reset. we will see if that fixes it. what a difference the posi makes taking off from a right turn, or left for that matter. before if the road was even the slightest bit wet i just spun that inside tire and didnt go forward as much gas as i was giving it. now, wet or not, i punch it, it goes. no more waiting for that tire to hook up.
