I usually post up Randy Lyman's article:

I've done it 3 times and it's been good so far.

breaking in a set of new gears is very important to the longevity.

you will be surprised how hot a new gear set gets when they are

breaking in and that can alter the metal strength.

imo the best gears are the micropolished ones run on Nascar.

I broke 4.10's in on the drive down to raceway, about 40miles, they cooled off for about 10min before my first run. Quiet ever since.
