1.) How many miles do you have on your aftermarket gears?

2.) What gear do you have? (ie, 4.10, 3.73, etc)

3.) What is your driving style? Agressive daily driver, road course/auto-x, drag strip?

HMM why the questions?
anyways

My buddies 92lx FRPP 3.73's over 100k I think it's actually at about 150k on those gears, been beating on since day one of the gears, has been dragraced, autocrossed, daily driver and in general our floggin car when any of the rest of us don't have a performance car.

I have about 28K on my FRPP 3.73s. NO problems.

SUPER DUPER INSANLY EXCESSIVE AGRESSIVE DRIVING! (most of the time ) About 21 passes at the track with them. 10 on Drs.
Everyonce in a while ill just cruize to work and not nail it one time...but on adverage I hit it about 2-3 times every time I drive it lol....sometimes MUCH more.

No real reason I guess. I'm an engineering major and I was curious to see how much stress gears are subjected to/can take

Have about 2,000 on my FRPP 4.10s, I drive it hard and not hard, guess it depends on the mood im in that day. so Id say about 50% of the time I drive normal and the other 50% is agressive

They are going to last just as long as any other gears, 3.73 are stock in some vehicle's. you can go to the junk yard and get 8.8" 3.73 out of jeeps that will fit mustang for about $20...

40,000 on FRPP 3.73. I beat them like a red headed step child every day. I take it to the track too. I popped the girdle off this past week to find my diff had takenn a dump. 3.73 showed no wear, but the spiders in the diff exploded.
