    Gear Brand

    I am buying a new set of gears for my 64 Galaxie. Going from 3:00s to 3:89. My brand choices are Summit, Motive, and Richmond.

    What brand would you go with?
    87 GT
    93 Notch
    60 Country Sedan
    Fairlanes/Galaxies 59-68
    67 Contiental 4 door
    06 Powerstroke

    Id be cautious about the summit brand, have heard mixed reviews on their products not being as good of quality

    Cool.... I heard the richmonds are loud. I will go with the motives. Bingo, 9" no for gears outside of factory (dont want used gears).

    Superior makes gears but they are about $100 more than the rest......

    I have motive no whines or nothing. But I think the set up has a lot to do with noise not the gears.

    i was talking to some people and have had good luck with summit brand gears. just was coincidence that all the gears i installed the customers brought motive so i do not have anything bad to say about them
