4.10s going on Tuesday!!!

[IwantmyMMnow!]

I'm soooo frickin' stoked right now!!! After waiting for over a year to have this done, it's only DAYS away from happening!

Went back to shop earlier today (the place where I got my tires) with my new 4.10 gear set (thanks again HD4!) and talked one-on-one with the head mechanic to get a feel for this place...just straight, no BS, respectful conversation with the guy. No price-haggle on my part; I just plainly told him, "I've got the money now to get this done, but I don't have the money to get it done again."

We probably chatted for almost an hour, and there was nothing he said that threw up any red flags in my mind.

I don't think I'm going to get any sleep between now and next Tuesday.

WOOOHOOO!!!!

Thanks, Brad. I've been scouring the forums to get a 'things to do after you have 4.10s installed' list...I've got a tune loaded on my hand-held (thanks Russ!) at the ready...

You will LOVE them!

Thanks, tbone....I've been reading/hearing that for over a year now...

Let me know how much your bill was at the end and what was done. I'm wondering if it will cost $500

Will do...so far, I've spent $140 on the gear set and the plan is to have my diff rebuilt along with the gear install...will know the bottom line by Tuesday afternoon/evening...don't want to throw out any quotes as they are just that...quotes.

I plan on taking pics during the install as well...

Okay....trying to make my list of things to do after I get them installed...having trouble focusing because I'm pinging like a mo-fo...I've called my friends to tell them about it and have smoked 4 cigarettes in the past hour alone...I feel like I just drank 2 pots of coffee and could run the entire length of the Blue Ridge Parkway right now....and rebuild every bridge on it.

This is what I've got:

Tune for 4.10s...check
Speedo will be off...will this be corrected with tune?
Extra cash set aside for gas...heavy right foot will commence Tues
Extra cash set aside for tires....see above
Clean pair of underwear in glove box...to change into after the first time I WOT.

But seriously, what else do I need to prep for/think about? TIA...

Don't worry about the gas, the difference will be negligible.

If you have a 410 tune, that should solve the speedo

Keep the underwear, you'll need it if you do a burnout in bikinis parking lot, or do I've heard

Start saving for headers and a blower for once you feel the difference with 410s you will only want to do more

According to the "Father of the Marauder", Steve Babcock, 4.10's were supposed to be in the Marauder. The bean counters had final say, so we got 3.55's instead.

These might be closer.

The guy that installed my 4.10's is in Durham, N.C.

Checkout Fastlane Motorsports in Benson, N.C.

Even closer is National Speed in Wilmington, N.C. I've never been there, but I've heard good things about them.
