My best friend has a guy at Ford thats willing to install everything professionally for a small price, but i was wondering if there was anything else i need?


Thanks for the help

RICHMOND GEAR and i think you have a 8.8.

 

Ford, Richmond, or Yukon!

 

i have had motive gears for a year now and haven't had a problem with them

 

I think ford is best, but I put motive [ shipper thought they were ford; or so he said] gears in my truck [standard grade] . They're ok for me, but hard as hell. I wouldn't want to drag race with them. bob

 

id say Yukon, i installed them on mine and love them

 

Richmond, or Yukon

my 78 f-350 has Richmond
my 74 charger has Yukon

they are good
