Hep with gears
 

I just bought my second 2000 4.6L. It has Richmond 3.73's in it already but they make a wine noise. Seceral ppl told me thats normal for richmond gears and others say that no gear should ever wine..... any suggestions?

I dont know but I hear that richmond gears wine really bad

I have heard only to go with FRPP for a quiet ride. Thats what I did...and not an ounce of noise/whine.

I have read that Richmond tend to whine.

whine means improper gear install. This crap of only run FRPP stuff is a myth i can make those whine just like any other gear if i dont know what i am doing.

What he said. There not in right.

Not installed right. My friend has Richmonds in is F-150. No whine at all.

thanks... i guess i gotta put them in right then.

I love a good myth. :boink:

Just go ahead and put in 4.10's

i would be shifting every 2 sec is a bi!ch

I've got FRPP 4.10s and then whine when they're under load between 45 and 50 mph. My installer told me it was the bearing and he could fix it for $150, but I would think that if it was the bearing it would whine all the time...

Thats the price we pay to be quick.

If the gears are helical cut gears they do not whine, simple as that.
