Richmond 3.42 Gears

Anyone have good (or bad) luck with Richmond gears like from Jegs.

10 Bolt 88, 2.73 posi. I plan to just change gears and bearings and seals.

richmond makes great parts, little more noise than some others but great parts, doesn't matter if they come from jegs, summit, or anywhere else.

I have the richmond 3.42's and my installer did them great from what I have read. They are virtually silent, no whine. They are holding great and if you wait til after this weekend, PM me on monday and I will tell you if they stood up to drag radials and 330 RWHP,LOL.

if richmonds are installed right, they make little to no noise at all. ive never had a problem with richmond's noise as i havent noticed any, but it's all a matter of opinion/perception in the end i guess heh

btw im awaiting a reply when you see this msg
