honestly it probably has to do with the electric throttle, and gearing

the 4.6 has a higher stall convertor, for more torque, so when mine's flashing (multiplying) im actually making more torque then 5.4 does

ive never heard anything bad about yukon, which is why i run them, but i also think ford racing makes a 4.30 set too. either of those would work great.

I've seen motive gears for cheap but never heard of them, probably for a reason.

yeah, i didnt want to go cheap on such a critical part of the truck. i picked yukon because they pretty much dominate the off road scene with high HP trucks and big tires.

so when you getting the gears put in?
