OH, i was down at Mustangs Unlimited here in florida and they do alot of REALLY big builds for people, anyways i was just in there shootin the sh*t with them about ordering stuff and their labor rate for sh*t jobs that i don't want to do on my garage floor (like changing the rearend gear) and they said to get FRPP for the money or i could go a little better and spend a ton more, but whatever i do stay away from motive, because i guess that they've seen nothing but problems, and not just stuff installed there, but anywhere, and people bring cars to them with phuked rear ends after doing a swap and the first thing they ask is if it was motive... just thought i'd throw that out there for everyone.

IF installed properly, any gear wll not whine. I have motives in my car and no whine. YOu have to shim the ring and pinion correctly, set the backlash, and all that god stuff. If all done correctly, there's no problem. It's just different brand names are installed differently.
