Alright cool, you know a friend of mine said to not do it because he said my car will over heat and I was like WTF.....and told him that lots of people on my forum has done it with no problem. So now I want to really install it to prove him wrong.

Thanks to a friend, I just got a 10bolt with lower miles on it with 4:10 gears in it already. Now I just need to see how easy or hard it will be to swap it in. Any comments on the install would be great.

Not really hard at all just time consuming. You have to remove the TA, LCAs, brakes, DS, shocks, Panhard rod.
Get a friend to help you out. I just pulled the old 10 bolt and installed a Strange 12 bolt by myself. Its a little tricky but doable.
You don't absolutely have to have them but its a good idea to have 2 pair of jackstands available. I have 3 sets and they always come in handy.
One trick I have found with adjustable Torque arms is to take the rear bracket off the TA and mount it to the rear end then just mate it up as the new rear goes in. This only works when R&R the rear end.

Okay guys, the 4.10 gears are in. Thanks to a friend on here I got a 10bolt with about 20k miles on it with 4.10 gears already in. It woke up the car and feels great. Now I just need to take a look at how fast I'm going because I know 65mph isn't really 65mph correct?
Also I am not sure what brand gears are in there but it is really loud. Is there a way to make it quietier without changing the brand gears?

I have read that but thw whine is pretty loud to the poin where its annoying. I was thinking maybe the person who installed the gears in the 10bolt did install the backlash corectly? The whine gets loud the faster I am also whines loud when im not on the gas peddle. hmmmmm?
