I give them an "A" for effort. Nearly unheard of to have a shop give it that much effort...

The big M is some of the problem. Motives are junker gears and FRPP
has been known to box Motives as FRPP gears in disguise.
The big M stamped into the ring gear gives them away....
And sometimes cuz its tough to get right and beyond most shops abilities
but they just dont know it until they bites one off and it spits them out.

Yeah, ring and pinion are a tough install to do and get right, very little margin for error. One of the rare things I pay to have done for me.

you need to have the "A" gear, as seen above.

Should of just done FRPP in the first place. I don't think the price difference was that big. I love my 4.10's, one of the best mods I've done so far.
