Who makes the Best Ring and Pinion Gears?

[marine_2003]

Just what the title says. Also Does anyone know the actual stock length of Fox Length axles? Are they 29 3/16"?

Thanks

+1 for FMS

Also never heard anything bad about FMS.

They hold up pretty well in OEM form after all.

Another vote for FMS or FRPP

Richmond is nice, but they tend to have a little more gear wine than the FRPP units. I have had both and that was all I noticed.

i was at summit pickin up my gears and the salesman there told me that richmond and ford gears are made by the same company...is that right???

If you need more then Ford Racing can give you then you need a 9".

I vote for FMS/FRPP.

On a side note, I was shopping around for a gear installer a while back, and a local, quite reputable gear installer told me that Motive gears used to be of great quality, but they had switched manufacturing plants to somewhere overseas, and weren't as reliable anymore.

strange engineering!

I have used both Ford Racing and Motive. Both fit perfectly and work great. Most recent was a 4.56 install in my 8.8 upgrade.

I have heard Richmond's are the strongest, but Ford's are easier to install. The Richmond's tend to whine more if they are not properly shimmed. I have had Ford gears in 3.27, 3.55, 3.73, and 4.10 and have never had trouble with them.
