3.90 gears = crap material?
3.90 gears = crap material? Hi,
I just spoke with a gear shop who refuses to warranty 3.90 gear installs. He said they are made in China and recommended 3.73 or 4.10s. I've never heard this, but I do notice far fewer 3.90 gear owners out there. What is the consensus on these?
I'm considering this over my current 3.42s for my blown lt1 with a 12 bolt.

Hmmm. I know the 3.90 isn't offered as widely as the 3.73s and 4.10s, however I haven't heard anything of the sort.
Frankly, I had always heard the 3.90s were stronger due to having fewer ring teeth (39/10 for the 3.90 versus 41/10 for the 4.11 and 41/11 for the 3.73).

I ran Motive 3.90s in my Mustang for 5 years, and never had a single issue. If I were you I'd call around to other reputable sources, and do your own research as well. I think you just might find that this shop may not know as much as you think on this matter
