I know this question has been thrown around a couple of times on this board. Does GM offer 4.10 gears on the new HD's? I want to add 35'' tires and a lift on my truck and I don't want to do it without the proper gearing. I don't care about improving my mileage I just want to keep the low end power with my upgrades. And what are the best gears to buy?

You can get 4.10's on an HD but not a Duramax equipped one. 6L and 8.1L gassers only. Too much torque on the diesel.

Maynard, I don't believe that to be correct. I believe it's an option on the '05 3500 dually. Per the Chevy website.

I had an 01 GMC 2500 with the 8.1 gas and the Allison 1000 in it. I know that it had 4.10 gears and I thought it was the same rear axle as my 02 Dmax.

RB,
From what I've been able to find out, the rear ends are the same. Call the local GM parts counter and have them look it up. The ones in my area are pretty good about helping someone out with finding info.
