Does it really matter between the two? For gears.

 

No, there really s no dfference between the two. my car has motve gears and ts great.

 

I got motive and my installer said that they were harder to set up than frpp. He could'nt set them up without a wine, and he was suppose to be a good installer. Pretty soon I'm getting another set of frpp gears, with the tuner and RP gear oil.

Thats a nice car man, have you posted any pics of it yet. I would like to see some.

 

I heard the motives weigh a little more than frpp, but it prolly doesn't make too big of a diff in performance.

 

I hear they are the same but of course people are gonna trust the FORD brand more...I have the FRPP 4.10's and I never had a problem with whine or anything.

 

I have FRPP and dont have a whine either

 

i got FRPP 4:10s, mine only whine when im coasting and my foot is very lightly on the gas. other then that they are fine no whines when she is slowing down,coasting(with no gas) or speeding up.

 

all we will install and guarantee is FRPP...motvies tend to whine...never had a prob with frpp...

 

yea i need my next mod to be 4:10's and nice *** sig. looks great!

 

i found a guy thatll get me discounts on frpp stuff, so ill be getting some frpp 4.10s soon

 

Whine occurs with installation flaws. FRPP will whine just as much as motive in a flawed installation. I have motive 3.90s and zero whine.

 

Well, supposedly Motives with ratios 4.10 and up whine a bit more than other gears. but I have yet to confirm this.

So long as you have a competent installer that you trust and has handled Motive gears before everything should be fine Be forewarned though, FRPP gears tend to have na eaiser backlash to setup, and many shops sometimes only will do FRPP installs.

 

FWIW I had a guy at my local Ford dealership install mine at his house. He has been setting up 9's and 8.8's for 30 years and he told me that frpp gears are the best. He said richmond gears and some other brands may or may not have a whine to them. My opinion is that Ford knows their engines, trannys, and rearends better than anybody. Stick with the blue oval and be proud knowing that your gears are not in a chevy or mopar. Unless they were smart enough to put a rock solid 9 inch in.
