quick FYI to Steve... 3.42 gears are taller gears than 4.10s which would be considered short.

Lower number is tall, traditionally considered a tall gear - for highway cruising performance is an auto.

Higher number is short, traditionally considered a short - for spinning gears up quicker under load or drag racing.

Just posting this for clarification.

Carry on..
