YES, WRITING FROM WORK, NEED CAPS ON HERE. AS FAR AS THE 4:10S GO, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A BIT MUCH CONSIDERING I DO STILL DRIVE THIS CAR EVERY DAY ON THE INTERSTATE. MAYBE WHEN I RETIRE HER IN FAVOR OF A 2005 (OR NEWER), BUT I AM STILL ABOUT A YEAR AWAY FROM THAT PURCHASE...JUST TRYING TO LIVIN UP THE OLD GIRL FOR NOW. WILL I HAVE AN EXTREMELY ADVERSE EFFECT ON MY MPG? ITS NOT GREAT AS IT WITH THE 2.73S BUT IT IS A TEN YEAR OLD CAR WITH 91,000 MILES.

3.55 will be good. it is an auto then i would go with the 4.10. you will lose alittle MPG with the new gears. but most of it will be from wanting to floor it even more!

HAVE A HARD TIME KEEPING MY FOOT OUT OF IT NOW...
i have that problem too! i dont worry too much about MPG. i figure i like my car, i like to drive and i need gas to do that. but i still know what you mean. i dont want to get 5 mpg either! you'll probably lose about 1-2 mpg depending on your driving habits
