I will let you know later this week! I am getting a Detroit Tru Trac and 4:56 gears installed on Thursday!

But from what a couple other people have said that have the 4.7, they have absolutely loved them! Have heard no one complain yet about installing 4:56 gears except for maybe they should have gone with 4:88's! But unless you are going to run a 38" tire then 4:56 will be more then enough!

Any TIRE diameter larger than 33" really should have the 4.56s. The mpg difference in going 4.56 as opposed to 4.10's would be negligable, but the performance gains will be feelable!!!

Is feelable a word?

The "top end" with gears thing is over rated. I'm only taching about 400 rpm's at 70 mph over where I was with 3.92 gears. That means my tach limiter is gonna hold me to what, 6-8 mph less than it would have. Big freakin' deal!!!

Your gas mileage will increase around town, as you do not have to give it as much throttle to accelerate from a stop, nothing major, maybe 1mpg or so better.
On the interstate, you'll find that you'll lose about the same, because you are running about 400 rpm or so higher while cruising. Again, nothing major, maybe 1 mpg unless you are used to travelling at 80 mph or higher, where it may increase to about a 2 mpg loss...
