are you auto or manual? if your auto just keep the 3.73 and sell the 4.10's

6speed, im still learning about gears but whats the difference between both

As far as strenght,not much difference between them. Neither of them can handle the potential abuse from a 6speed and traction.
3.73s' are the preferred ratio to upgrade to for automatics that have 2.73s' & 3.23s'.
4.10s' are the preferred ratio to upgrade to for 6speeds.
Going from 3.73s' to 4.10s' will increase your torque to pavement by 10%.

thats what i dont get then, the guy i got the car from said he put the 3.73 gears in but took out the 4.10

Just because 4.10s' are the preferred ratio by the general consensus,it's still a matter of personal preference. Maybe he wanted to lower cruising rpm,maybe they were noisy,maybe it was too much shifting,could be many personal reasons.

thanks for answering, whats the difference in shift points and so on? is the 3.73 better on gas? sorry for all the questions

based on/upon 6000rpm,1st-4mph,2nd-6mph,3rd-8mph,4th-11mph.
about 1mpg difference,but mpg is always right foot dependent.

Spring Hill-does the cruise-in on thursdays still occur at 'chick-fil-a' on Rt.50. I go down to Spring Hill from Ohio often,my daughter lives there.
