Buddy at work has either a 94 or 95 GT, what gears does he have in the rear? He says while driving at 75 he revs around 2000rpms.

He is wanting to get 4:10's but is worried about losing gas mileage. i told him he might lose 2mpg IF that by going with 4:10's and would probably be around 2500/2600 rpms on the highway at 75mph...

94-94's have 3.08's stock

ide stick to 3.73's...4.10's a bit much for a stock motor and can be annoying while daily driving.

i tried telling him that, but i think he is determined to get the 4:10's. Tried to tell him if he had an automatic to go 4:10's but since he has a 5spd to stick with 3:73's. I cant arrgue with him, it is his car.lol

ya 3.73 is the way to go in a five speed. [Smile] if he had an 03/04 cobra which is 6 spd. then 4:10s or even 4:30's would be perfect.

I believe it was a option you had to order when they were new. kinda like the 'premium' interior package got you a leather interior and what not.

it just depends on how the original purchaser ordered it... kinda like nowadays you can specify what gear you want in a new ranger
