If I recall correctly re gearsets...

Precision and Ford Racing typically make good gearsets

Genuine some people have had issues wtih - and don't they make gears for another company also?

What about the others, ie Motive and Yukon?

Precission is the best gear company IMO. Yukon is also pretty damn good.

4WheelParts will negotiate, just tell them that you'll do it for $1650 with a differential cover.

I'm sure they're installing Precision well that's what my 4WheelParts was going to be using.

You lucky S.O.B. I need gears. Let us know how the difference is and maybe write down some RPM numbers before and after the install if you don't mind.
