Pros - pulls a load better
Cons - burns more fuel than a 3.73 or 3.55

...honestly, i don't think the 4.10s themselves really cause the fuel to go faster: i CAN keep my mpg the same as when i had 3.55s IF i stay off the accelerator. that is much easier said than done since 37s + 3.55 = slow and 37s + 4.10 = much faster. every now and then i just can't help myself and go blasting out of an intersection because it's summer and i can and i love showing off my truck

your speedo is off if you have 4.10's and 315's. 70mph shoudl be 2000 rpm running 315 75 16's on 4.10 gears. 62 mph at 2000 rpm on 4.10's is stock size tire readings

I had 4.10's in mine before I swapped to a SRW rear end. Wish I would have kept the 4.10's now...
