Anybody use Hoosier Gears? Supposed to still be american made. I need to replace the r&p in my 9 inch and looking for a good quality QUIET gear. I really would like to find a good used set from Ford but can't locate any in 3.50 or 3.70 sets.

I know nothing about Hoosier Gears but my experience has been most aftermarket 9" gears are noisey. I just pay the premium for the Ford gears.

I would gladly pay a premium for Ford gears if you could still buy them.

I just had C&R Racing (Mooresville, NC) rebuild my wife's center with 3.70 Ford gears. I don't know if they sell the gears or not but it's worth a try.

You might try this guy. All he does is 8" and 9" ford rear ends and he is reasonably priced.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check him out!

Any other suggestions? I have resigned to the fact that I am just going to have a new complete center section built by someone. I have a 2 year old and a new born in the house right now and I don't have much spare time to mess with it. lol

I've bought from these guys. Their company name is Tripp Motorsports. Check them out. Great people to deal with, in my experience.

IS this center you bought from him quiet? That's my main concern now. I have gone to great lengths to make my car quiet, right now the gear whine I get out of my 9" is driving me nuts!
