Default Getting ready for long trip need some help

In about a month I am going to be moving from WV back home to UT and was wondering if I should take my 4.10 I have in now and put back in the 3.23 that the car came with currently with the 4.10 I am getting about 25mph doing 65-70 and I will be planning on driving that speed on the way back and also I don't know if the long constant driving would hurt the 4.10 or not. Also if anyone has any ideas for the long drive let me know.

nah i wouldnt worry about it the gears should be fine.. besides you'd probably spend as much as or more money changing them as the gas you might save swapping back to the old gears so it would probably be a waste
