Yeah I had all tyhe parts and my dealer said $800 so I said take a hike. I ofund a great tranny and diff shop that did the labor, gear oil, and synthetic conditioner for teh seals for 292 out the door. I had purchase my frpp gears and install kit from brenspeed for just uner 300. SO I did it all 200 cheaper than the dealer wanted just for the labor.

I ordered 410A gears from www.latemodelrestoration.com for $149 and they came with a crush sleeve, pinion nut, and some shims. I had also bought an install kit at the same time because I didn't know what was needed and didn't know the FRPP kit came with stuff. I would of been better off just getting the gears and letting the install shop supply what wasn't included.

every vehicle that ive had regeared that i owned had motive gears in it, and i never had a problem with them.

i was quoted $300 for 3.73 and a DTT install from a local place.

I would still stay with FRPP gears...a lil more expensive but well worth it for the fit and easy install. SOme shops wont even install Motives, the guy I went to wouldnt. BUt I didnt care cause I got my kit from Brenspeed and it was all FRPP. shop around, gears isnt the place I would cut corners on...sometimkes the extra 40 to 50 is worth it.

just because one person had a bad install doesnt mean the whole company only makes junk
