Default Company Motive?

Ever heard of this company called Motive. they make rear gears for the 5.0, i dont know if they are respectable but are definately cheaper. if someone has any experience with them please tell me because i would like to save some money.

Well, you get what you pay for, So being that they are so cheap, I'd get a more expensive set somewhere else.

The more you pay for something the better it is. Don't get 'em.

I've heard of them for a long time, I don't know of any bad things about them but I haven't ever used their products either

my first set of gears was motive gear, and it was a little bit noisy after they got worn in, made a whine noise ... very minimal, but my fms gears are nice and quit

that could easily be attributed to a hack installation. i'd get more opinions.

I wouldnt get any other gear but a ford racing gear. I got mine for $155. they are the easiest to install. I did mine myself and i put it back together with the factory shims and it was set perfect.

i wouldnt advise instaling the gears without a dial indicator... and why not spend 30[:-] or so more bucks and just get some richmond or ford
