Default Richmond Gears

Anybody have any experience with these gears. I can have a new set of 4.10's very cheap but I have these gears are very noisy. I have some OEM Motive performance gears in my 01 and loved them. They are as quaet as the stock ones.

Becuase the OEM gears were $199+shipping. The Richmond are new still in box and I can get them $100 and no shipping. I can probably even negotiate a better deal.

I've heard that also about Richmonds, but if they're installed right they shouldn't make any noise...
