strongest 10 bolt gears??? what are they... factory motive strange, richmond?
i know richmond is supposed to be a tad louder, but doesn't that mean stronger sometimes? or weaker?
im going to run a t/a cover and a 3.73 gear in whatever brand ya'll reccomend..
the stock 3.23's with stock cover held up to many low 7 second 1/8th mile passes on the gas, many of them off the line with some kind of stickie tire.. the other day i put the cam in tho, took off was acclerating fast in the top of second and hit a pot hole with the right rear tire, now my front seal is leaking worse then ever, and that WHINE is there.. ive had problems leaking fluid before, just put more in.. now its twice as bad, with the occassional clunks in there with the whine.. gear fluid is up..
since the stockers help up so good ill just replace them with 3.73's that will be weaker i hear cuase of the added teeth, so i need a stronger brand... dont have to last forever, just until i can get a 12bolt.

I don't have ANY experience with any other brand besides Motive, but I can tell you that I have flat out ABUSED the 4.10's I've got. I bought the whole assembly used and the previous owner said it was used for 6k miles?
They are quiet except for a very faint hum at freeway speeds when you roll into the throttle.
Love 'em!

I just installed Motive Performance gears today. 3:73's. So far so good. There is a slight whine when letting off of the gas. It is very slight though. They went in real good though.
