Does anyone have any experience with "motive performance plus" gears? How are they?

 

anyone heard anything good about this brand?

 

The shop I am getting 4:56s put in says that Motive and Yukon are the ONLY brands they will touch. I assume they are reputable.

 

That good to hear, i found some motive's pretty cheap....f&r diffs $390

 

im getting yukon 4.88's put in next week.

thats what my shop recommend, i believe they have a lifetime warranty

 

Where so cheap?

 

i got the yukon 4.88 irs my daily driver i lovem they realy nice and smotth barely any whin at all

 

4.88 Yukon in the rear of my truck, so far so good. trust me, I might as well test these pinions.

Bang # 1


Bang # 2


Those two were Genuine Gear

 

How are the 4.88's with 35's?

 

Ok so no genuine. How'd that happen?

 

First one, not sure really. I could not keep the ring gear bolted together for a while, it kept chucking bolts. then 5-6 months after i remedied that with tack welds the pinion exploded on my way to work with a stock 4.6

Second, one was one too many heavy footed accelerations with the blown 5.4 i think. All i know on that one was it really let go hard. It split my bearing cup, shattered the bearing spacer on the drivers side, obviously destroyed the pinion and severely mangled the ring gear.

 

Well, the second one might be understandable. But that first one would make me nervous. I'll def stay away from genuine. Thanks for the pics and info!

 

You are running 4:88s on 35s?

 

yeah. had plans on going bigger... lol

 

4.88 yukons here. No complaints and have been beating them for a while now.
