Got my gears installed
Well I finally got my 3.73 gears installed. I had them installed today so I have not had a chance to really see what improvement they have made until I get them broken in. The shop did a great job and only took the good part of the morning. I am looking forward to a little more pep out of the car.

its just a way for the shop to save its own *** imo. when you buy a car new off the lot that people have test driven and beat to ****(those first 12 miles on the car when u get it) do you hear gear whine... no... why is that? because FORD knows what the heck they are doing...
go have fun in your car.. that break in crap is bs. you already know they are working fine, go beat on it and make sure there is no gear whine. if there is take it back and tell them to fix it right.

To heat cycle the metal. Ever heard of forged metal? Heat and cool, heat and cool, change your diff. fluid and friction modifier after break-in. You would'nt beat up a new motor w/ out break in would you? Let me know how it works out for u if you don't break them in. Of course I could be wrong.....
