Default Add me to the list of ppl in love with 4.10's

I bought a Timkin bearing kit, outer wheel bearings and seals, a TA Performance rear end girdle, and some GM 4.10's. And like most, I won't have it any other way from now on. I did a lot of research on peoples opinions of 4.10's and decided to go that direction. I couldn't be any happier! I know it puts a lot of strain on the 10 bolt but my car is the 3rd f-body to be in our immediate family and we made the other two 10 bolts last over 160,000 miles. My car has 92,xxx on it right now so it had a ton of life left but I figured I'd knock everything out while I was in there. I had TDP do all the work and everything is perfect and quiet. Just thought I'd share some more positive feedback.

Auto? With not much power and no sticky tires should be fine. Just highway trips will be a bitch!

that's what i hear.. our other 2 were m6's and seemed to do good. the car almost never sees the track. and the once in a blue moon that it does, it's on street tires and only make a couple passes. and i dont even dump the clutch. but hey, if it breaks ill just buy another one

thanks for the offer Mike, but unfortunately I live in Fort Worth, Texas. I appreciate it though.

I love my 4.10s. They whine a little but it's worth it. I haven't seen a decrease in mileage.

can someone give a parts list with prices ? What else should I do while Im in there? cover? posi ? etc..
My car is strickly a street car and been thinking about adding 410 gears until it breaks. Been reluctant for awhile because I was afraid my rear end was going to just sanp with my ad-ons. So far it hasnt given me any trouble at all.

I didn't do much shopping around for price, but here is what I spent:

$154.95 - TA Performance Rear End Girdle
$23.00 - ARP Bearing Stud Kit
$119.00 - Timken Master Install Bearing Kit
$50.00 - GM 4.10 Gears (an absolute steal at that price. don't expect to find GM gears for that)
$28.95 - 3 Quarts of Lucas Oil 75w-90 Gear Oil (only needed two)
$6.00 - GM Limited-Slip Rear End Additive (that's with employee discount)
$225 - Texas Drivetrain Performance Labor for Complete Installation

TOTAL: $606.90 + any shipping charges and taxes

Again, you can get the parts cheaper used, and you can install yourself. I didn't mess with it bc TDP warranties the work they do and they've set up 1,000+ 7.5" 10 bolts...

I'm really considering going to a 4.10 gear. Just out of curiosity what rpms are you running at 70 in 6th gear on an m6?
