motive gear vs richmond ? or
Looking for a gear set but hear lots of different opinions on one is quieter and some people have a hard time setting up the pattern on some .Is it just a crap shoot now that the stuff is made off shore.I don,t want to pay $300.00 plus, just to end up with a howlling rearend and have to fight to return it or fix it.

Re: motive gear vs richmond ? or
With the labor involved to properly set up a GM rear,, I wouldn't take a chance on anything but Richmond Gear.

Re: motive gear vs richmond ? or
I have a set of Motive's in a 12 second street truck, but run Richmond Pro Gear's in my drag truck. Can't go wrong with Richmond.

I have Motive's in my truck. They've been in it since '03 and haven't had a problem.
