I'm wanting to upgrade to 4.10 from my current 3.42 gears as my 35" tires have robbed me. My dealer cannot find anything for the 2014s? Has anyone done this and know what is needed and from where I can get 4.10 gears? Thanks!!

Nothing GM as they only do a 3.73 gear and thats on the max tow 9.75" axle. Did a couple quick searches on google, couldn't find anything. Wouldn't hurt to try a local driveline/axle shop in your town.

If you're feeling in a giving mood around Christmas time, whenever you put new gears in send me your 3.42s lol. Can't stand my 3.08s.

 

They lowest gear they put in these trucks is 3.73 which is what I plan on changing mine to.

I would personally go to 4.56's for 35's.

 

I could be wrong, but I believe 4.56 with 35s is equivalent of 3.73 with factory 31"(roughly) tires. So 4.10 with 35s should be the same as 3.42s with 31 factory tires.

yea the numbers may work out to be equal. But you also gotta take into account the added mass/weight of the bigger tires/wheels. 4.56's would help mitigate that.

I was just saying in case he wants the same performance and mileage that he has now. As for the extra weight, I don't think it matters that much with just 35s. I'm just guessing on that though. Especially being that they put bigger and bigger rims from the factory now. I'm pretty sure 18s with 35s are lighter than 22s with factory size tires (example, not sure what size rims he has). I could be wrong though. Of course it's not a bad thing to go a little lower so not saying you're wrong, just usually someone that lifts a daily and changes gears wants roughly the same performance and mileage as it was stock. I'd worry more about making sure the brakes were up to par which the brakes on these trucks seem to be good enough for 35s, but bigger I would think about upgrading

Do you have a 10 or 12 bolt gear?  I just picked up two 4.10 gear sets with master kits for around 700 bucks from Elite Gear, Rons machining carries them. The carrier stays the same between the two rearends.   I run 34.5" tires.  Remember,  both diffs on 4x4.

4wheelparts charged me 2357 out the door front and rear all done and ready to roll.  They also put in a gear and tire tuner I didn't know about in that charge.  I returned that for a refund however.  I already have an edge cst I use.

A 14’ Silverado has either 9.5 12 bolt rear axle (normal trucks with 5.3), OR a 9.75 12 bolt rear axle (all 6.2 motors, AND 5.3 with max tow). From what you posted I *believe* you have a 5.3 with the 9.5 12 bolt rear axle. 

 

AAM (OEM) now makes a 4.10 gear for our 9.5 12 bolt axles (link below). Yukon makes more options but from my research, going above a 4.10 will require a larger differential cover (no biggie). The other question you should ask yourself is if you want to add a locker in the rear, or swap out the G80 (if equipped) for something else like a truetrak while you are paying for the gear swap (I would). FYI, 4.10/35 will place you slightly deeper in gearing than 3.42/31 (stock). As others said you may be bogged down with the 4.10/35 compared to your stock set up due to increased weight of those 35”, but who knows by how much. Another great site to check out is posted below as well.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
