I'm going from my stock 3.42 to 4.10's which brand is the best?

 

there is no BEST brand. some are quieter then others. Some are believed to be stronger then others. I prefer richmonds, they are more noisey then the average gear. Even perfectly setup they will still make some noise. But then again i have seen them setup horribly wrong and live for years of hard abuse.

I have never had a set but i have heard yukons are quiet.

 

I would select the gears as follows:

Motive gear: Low cost, cross between performance and quiet gears.

Progressive: Have never heard of them (avoid)

Richmond: Strongest of the four, will whine even if setup properly

Yukon: Low cost, OEM replacement gears (made in China)

 

I beleave AAM are best

I had Precision 3.42's in my thirdgen which performed great and were completely silent.

Went with Motive 3.73's in the TA and no problems thus far. They whine a little bit on deceleration but you have to really listen for it in order to hear.

Precision or motive are good choices IMO.

 

AAM makes the gears for Yukon per Randys ring and pinion. I had the Yukons and they had very tiny whine.
