Thanks. you can get the gears at you local speed shop. depending what brands they have; i do not recomend motive.. i got a set of 4.10 motives in my 2006 silverados and they howl...alot. its not inproper set up just the way the gears are cut ive heard...a guy i work with did yukon gears in his impala and said they work beautifully.

broke1 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Why not use GM???Pricey??Yes,but set up correctly,you can bet your ass they will not howl!!! If you are paying someone else to do it,id bet money that if the aftermarket gears you buy howl,the installer will blame it on the aftermarket.If you buy GM and they howl,the installer cannot make that excuse!!

blackbeast ss Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 i did motive 4.10s and trutrack and love it,dont know why but mine dont howl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I've done many different brands and for non-GM I have always had good luck with Motive and Yukon. Richmond seem to be strong, but very noisey no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 motives are probably the best Non GM gear you can purchase and install. Find a used TBSS axle and swap the 410s over to yours. i did this, wish i would of kept my 373s around tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
