What break in procedure do I need to follow when installing the gears? I should installing then on Tuesday, I ended up buying 3.73 gears and they are Genuine Ford OEM gears.

Not at the dealership, at a performance and restoration shop. They do gears on all sorts of drag racing cars all the time. I was quoted $275-300 at most. How much did the dealership want?

The gears alone will be near double that quoted number if you have a 9.75 rear. Ford is the ONLY manufacturer for gears for the 2011+ 9.75 rear. The other bummer other than the outrageous price, 4.11 is the lowest gear made..... Hope the aftermarket steps up soon.

Nothing like changing gears. I have always done my own using paint and checking the wear pattern. I put 4.56 in my 98 4 wd and it was a job! You should see a big diff going two sizes .
