Motive Gear Question/Problem Last month I had a set of Motive 4.10 gears installed on my '01 T/A (replacing the stock 3.42s)..
Over the last few days I have noticed a faint, but very noticeable whine usually during highway driving.
Would this indicate that the gears are about to blow through the differential or were they installed incorrectly? Anyone else having problems with Motive? So far, I've heard nothing but good remarks about them.

Re: Motive Gear Question/Problem I noticed a slight whine after having Motive's installed. Sometimes I hear it, sometimes I don't...
No problems though - car runs great. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Motive Gear Question/Problem I am guessing from your times you installed the 4.10s.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
How long have you had the whine, because I had a shop listen to it and they told me my rack and pinion was on the verge of blowing through the diff.

I'm going to run both tires tomorrow night to see if the shorter 16" Streets will be quicker. I believe they will be, but the weather will be a factor... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

<strong>Those are some amazing times for the gear setup your using... What other mods?
I guess your run at Kennedale? Ever run Ennis?</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> All my 1/4 times are from Ennis. Ran at HRP once last March - more 12.0's... Super Chevy was the last time I was out at Ennis - about a month ago I guess.
I've got all the bolt-ons - headers, pulley, lid, ported TB, true dual exhaust, HALs, LCA's, SFC's, Torque arm. Stock internal - no juice.
