Id sell that motive gear and get an frpp gear.

01silver freak · 02-12-2009, 07:24 PM

its the only set of 3.90's i could find...........

Whoever does the install needs to set them up tight then or they will make some serious noise

01silver freak · 02-12-2009, 07:51 PM

thats the only negative thing ive heard from the motive gears is whining noise i wanted the gears from frpp but i didnt want 3.73's and i thought 4.10's may be a little much for the driving i do so went with something in the middle car at the moment when doin 80 it is right at 2k rpms so i dont know what it will be at with a 17in. rim with 275/40 tire

I would run a 4.10 without a doubt.Put them in many daily driven cars with no issues

im just goin for something a little more agressive than the stocker i go to the strip like 4 times a year depending on how i feel and if my bud thinks he can whoop me i ownd him with my silver one then i got hit by a drunk...... 4 months later i got this crimson 03 gt it feels stock wise alot stronger dont know why though

I agree. There probably will not be a 100 rpm difference between 3.90's and 4.10's at cruising speed.

I installed motive 3.90's in GI Joe's Roush a few years ago. I don't recall a whining noise when we went for the test drive though.

Also installed some motive 3.73's in mid 90's chevy truck for a guy I work with. He never mentioned a whine.

But yeah on modular fords they bash the motive gears pretty hard about being noise makers

well at this point in time when i get them installed im praying they wont whine and nothing goes wrong this is the first set of gears ive ever bought and gotten installed
