Re: Summit branded ring and pinion
Had a set in a '79 GMC... whined quite a bit. Replaced them after only 500 miles. Whine gone with different brand.

Every set of Richmond gears I've installed over the last 30 years have been "quiet". No whine like the cheaper cut gears. If I remember... even Motive Gear says that you can expect some noticeable noise out of their gearsets.
