Default Are aam gears any good?

I bought a set of 3.73 gears for my 99 ss. When I ordered them I told Jon at tsp that I could get the motive gears from New Era for $$$ I asked him if he could match it and he said yes. But I didnt know I was going to get a different brand. So my question is should I go ahead and install these or should I wait and get the motives?

AAM is the company that does the OEM manufacturing for GM. So a AAM gear set is the same as you would buy at the dealer.

Yeah, what mzoo said. Nothing wrong with the Motives but I prefer the AAM gears also.

Cool thanks for the replys. I will go ahead and put them in. I was just a little worried at first.
