You hit it with a trans brake or something? I figured the factory GM ones or maybe the Yukon gears were strong enough.

Holy hell...Motive gears shouldn't shatter like that either. That's just odd.

IMO, AAM gears are the best.

I have seen that before on motive gears.

There are differences in the size of the gears based on gear ratio. The lower the gear (higher numerically), the smaller/thinner the gearset will be.

Then you have thick cut gears, offset and thin cut gears.

Gears
 
I ran Richmond gears in my race/street cars for years
and always had good luck with them.

I think I may try to run Richmond

Might have the gears cryo'd also.

I had AAM 4.10s in mine. Help up to power. Moser axles not so much, twisted up. Stock axles were stronger.
