well man the difference wont be that much if you go from 3.42 to 3.73 so if you have 4.10s now i think i would wait and buy some 3.73s and then have them installed the 3.73 is a little more appropriate for an automatic anyway or maybe a 3.90 are you sure that the problem is because of the installation or could it just have broken because you know the rears in these cars arent that strong ps why do you hate punctuation
