i have been debating which brand of gears to get
i definatly want 3.73, but from who....i am not sure

ford oe 269.99
Yukon gears 229.99
Motive gears 179.99

i am also going to be buying a FRPP T-Lok
One more Question
Is there anyting else i need to buy to do have this installed by my local speed shop?
like a notched cross pin or a Rear End Master Installation Kit.
I just got my t-lok and 373 Motive gears installed today. My rpm's were still pretty low in 5th gear at highway speeds(80mph @ 2300rpms). So now I wish I would've gone with the 410's. The 373's did make a difference, along with t-lok and re-tune, but I think the 410'smight be a little better.

2300@80mph?.....doesn't sound right dude. thats about what i was doing with stock 3.31's. i'm at almost 2500rpm's@70mph and i got 3.73's also. did you adjust your tune on your programmer for the correct gear ratio?

Zimba just wondering if you got everything at once or did it come in a bunch of seperate packages....got my t-lok and friction modifier...no gears or install kit yet.....

BTW what did you pay for the install...just so i make sure i am not getting ripped off

300-350 is good & fair. if its a very reputable shop then it should be well worth it. my install alone came out to about 320.
