Default New gear company to consider?

I am thinking of 4.10 gears and have only considered FRPP gears. Lately, I've been hearing about Yukon Gears. One installer called Yukon Gears the quietest gears they sell. Anything to these gears?

Never heard of them. FRPP knows exactly what they are doing when it comes to our gears. They may be a few bucks more - but you'll not have to think twice about them provided your installer knows what he is doing. Go FRPP.

I've heard of Yukon. I used to see them in my SummitRacing catalog. It always seemed that they were quality to me.

I've heard good things about them. I'm personally looking into getting FRPP because of a better deal, but if you like the price you should definitely consider them.

i've used motive gear.. never had a problem, never made a sound and put them through a ringer about 15/20 times. no huge abuse, but wasn't easy. my car is actually getting 4.10's installed RIGHT NOW FRPP. i can't see them being worse. if that helps... anyway. lotsa people use FRPP, never head a single issue with them. i would say 8/10times its the installer that makes the whine. not the gear. just me though.

I have NOTHING against FRPP gears, it's just nice to have another choice to consider (besides Motive).

I have Yukon gears, 3.55 with a detroit locker. They are quiet, but my car is stupid loud so I really can't hear much but the motor/exhaust/turbo. No issues, no metal debris when I've changed out. When you go to their website it looks more like a place for 4x4 types of applications bu that's just their main source of sales.


I've never called them or dealt with them except for my purchase. They have alot of choices when it comes to gears. I would buy their product again.
