I know this topic has been talked about a lot. But I want some recomendations on gears for my 4.8l manual trans truck. 3.73s, 3.90s, or 4.10s. Thanks for the input. I just want to have some fun with my stock 2wd truck.

what kind of driving do you do
what will the truck be used for
highway or town driving
If it's a manual, I'd go 4.10's for sure.
2001 sierra stepside
I will put most of my miles on in town. but occasionaly I will be taking the truck on 3 hour trips about once a month.
The biggest thing is I want to have a little fun on the street with a decent 1/4 mile. I didn't know if 4.10s were to low or not. I don't want 1st gear to be to low where I will have to be shifting out of it early.
What size tires are you running? What transmission?

stock tires (245/70R17) and tranny. Maybe a better qustion is 10mph per 1500rpm is that about the right formula for 1st gear?
There are quite a few good rpm/gear calculators out there.
