OEM gears are the quitest ones out there, I used GM 3.42's in my Caprice and they have held fine and make no noise.

yeah, but supposedly the oem units aremanufactered by companies that sell gears outright. A dealer store told me that oem gears are different. One buyer may get motives, another something else.

US Gear is typically much quieter than the Richmond gears. If this is going into the stock 10 bolt it may be a moot point, as I have seen enough flex in these rears to ruin a quiet set of gears after several launches. Bob
