Re: Gearing
depending on your overall car combination either of those would be fine. With that transmission, even a 4.10 gear would be reasonable highway friendly.

Re: Gearing
3.73's with the auto for sure, 4.10's would be too much for that trans drivability even if it never sees the highway
the 4.10 would give you slightly better acceleration but imo not worth the minimal gain, 3.73 is still a tall gearing what are you upgrading it from?
