4.10

jason1198 · October 13, 2020

Wanting to switch to 4.10s from stock 3.42

Truck is 4wd so doing both front and rear. Wondering what’s needed to do other than ring and pinion gear and what kind of brand is best

You can contact East Coast Gear Supply. They have been great to deal with. They will let you know what you need without you getting stuff you just don't need.

Gears and bearings is pretty much it for parts. Wouldn't be a bad idea to get a better rear locker and not use the factory G80 anymore.

Yukon gears are also another good place to buy stuff from.

3.73 was offered from the factory with 6l80 max tow

Yukon has a 3.73 for the 9.76, anything over that I would go with what bash74 said. Has something to do with fitting gears for the 9.5 into a 9.76. But as long as your rear end isn't a 9.76 you shouldn't have issues finding gears anywhere.

Does anyone make a locker for the 9.76? I looked into it a little while ago but couldn't come up with anything. It would be nice if there was a truetrac that would fit.

9.76? I’m assuming thats the diff for the 6.2?

They also had the 6l80, 6.2, 3.73 combo for the 2014 MY only in sierra/silverado

Yeah 9.76 is for the 6.2 8spd, or 5.3 max tow 2015+. I think the 14's had the 9.5. imo oem is the way to go, but 3.42 is the highest they have for the 9.76.

Nope, just confirmed my 2014 6.2 has a 9.76, its stamped on the diff. Also confirmed with numerous other posts in this forum. From what I understand all 6.2’s are 9.76

I have the 3.42. They did offer the 2014 only 6.2 with 3.73 gears with the max tow package.

Which should mean in 2014 only, you can get a 9.76” diff with 3.73’s from the factory.

unless of course for the 6.2 max tow they actually went to the 9.5” diff. Which would be strange

I'm really confused now... I don't doubt you, if its on your truck, its on your truck. For some reason I thought you couldn't get 3.73's for the 9.76. Maybe they stopped producing the part? I'll have to look into it

Looks like I might be getting some 3.73's, lol.

The improvement from 3.23 to 3.73 with tires that measure out just a hair under 35” is very good. The drive-ability improvement is great. I ran the numbers a while ago, with the swap, the truck performs as it would’ve with stock height tires if it had been equipped with a 3.46 ratio. This is just where the math calculations would’ve put the gearing. The truck runs much better- stoplight to stoplight. Any feeling of “lugging” is gone. Mileage picked up a bit for in city driving. Highway performance is back where it should be and the truck sees 8th gear much more often. All in all a great improvement without having to swap the internals down to the 9.5” set up.

No i have 3.42 and 9.76

I don’t have max tow. Max tow should have 3.73 with 9.76 for 2014
