Do Not Get Precision Gears. They Are The Nastiest, Noisy-est, Most Annoying Gear Set I Have Ever Owned, And They Were Put In Correctly. I Used 3.73's Also. (see Sept, 2000 Issue Of Gm High Tech Performance - They Could Not Get Them Right After 6 Hours Of Labor). I Have E-mailed The Company A Few Times Over The Past Few Weeks, With No Reply. Save Yourself Some Trouble And Get Genuine Gm Gears, From Pace, Or Any Gm Dealer.

Default GM vs Aftermarket

I'm in the same boat. I want to upgrade from a 3.23 to 3.73 gear. I have read that aftermarket gears have a higher nickel content ... making them stronger, but, a lot noisier. Does anyone know if this is true? It seems a lot of folks here like the GM gears because they're quieter, however, are they as strong as aftermarket?
