Default Motive Gears question?

Are all Motive gearsets created equal? Meaning: Are the ones made in Italy, good as the ones made in USA? How do you tell the difference between a Italian set and a USA mfg. set? Thanks. WJ

Red and orange box is Italy Blue box is Indonesia, If it's in a plain box and says made in the USA then it could be a Richmond PTP gear, cheaper line.

LOL, you said it brother, The Italy boxed gears are the Motive performance line and are usually the best they offer.

I've got a set of the Italians that are gonna go into my car in about a week. I feel a little better knowing that I didn't buy the cheaper ones now.

I was disappointed that they weren't American-made though.

The USA made stuff is just reboxed AAM, or OE GM stuff.
