Who is selling GM Motive 3.73s right now.

Just as the statement says.
I've checked around, and most vendors that sell the GM Motives have them on backorder til July. Some of the ones that do have them in stock wants to sell them for over $450 without the install kit. I even called some of the GM warehouses and was told that they didn't carry a 3.73 gear WTF???
But anyway maybe someone out there knows of a business that I haven't tried. Summit doesn't carry GM Motive brand gears.

Thanks

Tim

Advise getting OEM rather than Motive, if you can.

OEM are the ones put on at the factory. So when asking about OEM for a Camaro, unless the Camaro came with the gears, you would have to ask about the vehicle that came from the factory with the gears. Cams didn't come with 4.10s, but S10 pickups did. Do getting the OEM 4.10s for your camaro, you'd ask for the gears that came with the pickup.

Ring and Pinion and DTS would know what you are talking about.JMHO

Thanks Guys,
I'm just getting in from work only to get a phone call from my uncle telling me that my mother's car has just been stolen.
So, instead of getting me a beer, I had to drive about 20miles to her house and see what was going on. Luckly she wasn't home when it happened. She has been in the hospital for the past 2 months and is still there. The car stolen was an old '87 Ford Taurus, but yet and still, it was hers. Enough about that, Who ever got it will get whats coming to them sooner or later.
I called Jason, and he said it would be hard to get them. I didn't try Dal. One GM dealership that I called had them but wanted over $500 for the OEM replacements.
I'm going to try all the sources mentioned.

Thanks

Tim
