What brand 4.10 gears should I get??

fbodylover305 · 05-21-2006, 10:27 PM

Motive gears are the best...dont make much noise, and last the longest!!

my yukon gears have been excellent so far......

SMOKKINU · 05-22-2006, 10:14 AM

I broke everything else, i had Strange Gears, Richmond gears, and Motive gears....all 4.10's....all broke.....but the yukons have been in the longest, and are the quietest.

I've heard good and bad things about every gear brand. I guess I'll be going with Strange gears since they seem to be the overall best according to most of the people I've talked to. I've never heard of Yukon though, where can I get them.

I had Superiors in first, after 2 days, they were whining so loud I couldn't hear music. OEM GM 4.10s went in, and other than a slight whine (that you have to listen for), they've been fine for about 3 weeks now. Don't trust the 10 bolt enough to try to get a good launch on it, but I beat on the gears pretty hard other than that.

I currently have Richmonds, quite and flawless.

I have the SLP 3.73's, not much whine at all, going on 2854 miles on them, so far so good.

Just ordered the Strange 4.10's from Thunder Racing. I'll let you know how they do.

Genuine GM Gears!

Richmond have had a reputation for decades being the noisiest gears by far. OEM GM very quiet, motive and yukon great.

2000TransAmWS6 · 08-08-2006, 03:35 PM

Richmonds are know to be noiser, but i believe it has to do with the way that they are cut, they're cut for alittle extra strength.

bigdsz · 08-08-2006, 04:10 PM

I don't know how true it is, but that's what I've heard too.

ldickson · 08-24-2006, 01:19 AM

I had good luck with Strange

ssman00 · 08-24-2006, 01:22 AM

I just had richmond 4.10 installed they work great but you do hear a faint whine in the higher gears but you cant hear it with the radio on

Motive or Genuine GM (supposed to be one and the same)

Same here.
How much gear whine there is all depends on if they were setup properly and the first critical 100 miles during break in.

GM take outs first, Motive Gears second.

MrCadillac · 09-12-2006, 01:33 PM

genuine gm gears so i THOUGHT, were AAM(American Axle Manufacturing), same guys who make lt1 drive shafts I would never thinkof running any gear but genuine GM's, aka AAM.
