SO I see that they offer the motive and the Yukon gears. I know that the motive gears were pretty good for the Mustangs, but how do they fend in a full size truck? I also noticed there is about a 50 dollar difference between the two? Anyone have the Motive gears? Yukon? Just looking for longevity, and silence. Thanks a lot for all who responded!

Call and talk to Jeremy up there and ask him the difference. I was going to order Yukon's but they were very expensive and by the time you add on a master install kit, the price gets up there. So I asked what the difference was between the Yukon's and the basic gears. He said nothing. Same material and strength but Yukon's machine their's so close they gurantee no gear noise. I really didn't care about gear noise so I ordered the basic set. There is a little gear noise but not as much as you would imagine - like a very quiet turbo whine that increases with speed. Once it gets above a certain speed it goes away completely. With my pipes and with the radio on, it's very hard to hear it.

Oh, and the basic set has the same warranty as the expensive set.

How are the gears in your truck, do you tow anything? What about mileage? I know this has been asked a million times, but I never really payed too much attention, but now I am serious about doing this mod.

I did a lot of research on the gear swap but there is not just that much out there so basically I went by Air Ram's word and GreenJeeps Rule. Both pushed the gear swap highly. I jumped into it and it is the best thing I have ever did to that truck hands down. I still have not had a chance to tow my camper but ask GreenJeepsRUle about it. He said it made a significant improvement. Gas mileage depends of driving habits striaght up. It's never going to be good but take it easy and it you wont notice a difference in mileage. I say got for it. You will not regret it.
You might want to do a search of the forum to see all the opinions and argument's for and against. Frankly don't worry about the against.
