I have the 4.10s but the 4.30's won't cost you much more fuel and give you a GCWR of 23000 versus the 21000 I have with the 4.10s. These are the only two rear end ratios available with the V10 and they are so close I can go to a 65 series tire instead of the 70 series tire and that will give me the eqivalency of 4.24s. Best bet is to go with the 4.30s to get the same combined raing as the diesels but my 4.10s worked excellent and I could do 55 MPH on 8 % grades up to 4000 feet of elevation. The turbo diesels really shine at high elevations but the V10 is no slouch even at high elevations.
