3.73s - lower rpms on highway
4.10s - good pick up

GO 4.10s

I dont know much about gear ratio numbers, but i heard that the 4.10's make your car quicker than compared to the 3.73's.
As for me, I have the 3.73's and I've had them in the (car's) rearend for five years now, I have a heavy foot and i love to
drive plenty fast. Plenty of burnouts and plenty of punishment, belive me they are reliable.

Yea, 3.73s are what you are probably going to want if you do a lot of hwy time, and 4.10s if you only make short trips around town with a little hwy time. 4.10s will offer a little more get up and go, but will also cosume about another 1 mpg more than 3.73s.

4.10's or go home.

Edit: LISTEN to the people that actually HAVE gears... I've got 3.73's in my Gt and if the cost to swap them out wasn't too expensive, I would go with 4.10's in a heartbeat.

4.10

driven both 3.73 and 4.10, 4.10 are worth it, auto or manual doesnt matter. hell i wish they made 4.30s for the 7.5 rear end.
