Another gears ?, sorry
Hey everyone...after much debate I decided on the 4.10's over the 3.90's...I figure 200 RPM's more isn't much and everyone who got less than 4.10's say they wish they had went with them first, Now I have a new dilema...Motive or Ford, From what I've heard it's a coin flip and the motive are 50 bucks less.
Any feedback would be great...thanks
Also, this may be a stupid question but do you have to drive easy for a while after installing the gears, or is it okay to get on it?

If you have a good installer, you should be able to just jump on it. I think the point to going easy is to listen to any unusual noise or vibration. Better to catch a problem before it becomes a big problem. But, just follow whatever instructions they give you.

I always heard after brand new gears go drive it around a little, let the car cool down, and go drive around again. Do this a few times and you will be fine.
I'm sure theres lots of different opinions though.

I just got FRPP 4:10's in mine, and I do alot of hwy drivin it's not bad esp with our cars, I'm only at 2500 @ 75. The only reason I got the ford is because that's what they used at the shop I go to, like he said gears are gears.

My bad brother..You are correct....
I also am getting 4.10's...75 at 2500Rpms aint bad at all...I never really go faster than 80 anyways on the highways...
BTW.......how did the 4.10's feel compared to the stocky 3.27's??? Big accaration huh?

your sopposed to drive for 20mins and then let the rear cool down for a few hours not mins, then your sopposed to take it easy not gong over 60mph i think it was on the first few trips with the new gears. thats how i was told at every gear place i have ever been to. hell at 4wheelparts they wouldnt let me take my truck unless i take a paper that said this and signed it saying i would fallow the directiosn on it or they wouldnt warrenty there work on my f150's gear install.

when your gears get installed they will get broken in by the installer. when they test drive your car for to test for gear whine. since i went with motive, the guy couldnt get rid of the whine he changed shims 3 different times to get the whine down the measurements that were on the gears were bad. its annoying but whatever. it whines between 40 and 50 when im getting up to speed and 50 45 when im slowing down. it sounds like a jet engine coming online, if you work with jet engines then you know what i mean

Don't know much about this subject but my friend has a 2004 MACH I and has many mods including drag radials but when he put Ford Racing gears in it he broke it third run on the track. Perhaps he hooked up too well or something but I cant beleive he broke it first time out. Makes me wonder about ford Racing products.

I had Ford Racing gears 3:73s for 4 years they worked awesome in fact I like them better then the Richmond 4:10s I have now! just cause they are very quite no whining :icon_pale btw I raced with the 3:73s almost every Friday nite during the summer :evil6:
