I have always ran Richmond and never a problem. Remember that you get what you pay for.

Richmond...

I have about 12,500 street / hi-way miles, and 100+ 1/4 mile passes including running in competition with DR's, and a 3,200 Stall in an A4.

I like American Axle & Manufacturing (AAM). I think they make OE GM years, they are 2 cut gears and set up a little tight about .006 back lash. I paid 200.00 for the set 5-6 years ago. I bough from a vendor on here. ( may have been Texas driveline ?)
good luck,Johnny
