Good choice on the Eaton. I think I used to run gm gears, not aftermarket.

I sell gears on the daily and never see motive returns for what its worth. Most returns are from Richmond Excels but their OEM gear is really nice.

1999-2008 GM 8.6 Truetrac Posi 4.10 Excel Gear Package - Ron's Machining Service

Or more likely this setup with the Eaton truetrac. are these gears really just **** that will break? id rather do it right one time.

Like I said before I would stay away from excel gears. The excels sell the best because the are cheap but they don't have the best track record. Motive gear all day long over excels.
