Has anybody had any experience with Motive Gear carriers? I have read a few reviews that they where not so great. Some of the reviews I read about parts I am interested in I think are sometimes from idiots that did not know what they where doing. I got a set of 5.13:1 gears for my 14-Bolt, and I was considering just running them on my G80 14-Bolt, which works just fine right now, but this truck has 38" tires. If I got into a situation where I had to gun it, the Gov-Loc could turn into a Gov-Bomb.
I need an open carrier so I can get a locker that will handle 38" tires and 5.13:1 gears. My truck spends about 80% road driving, and only 20% light to moderate wheeling. I do not want to spend $350 to $450 on an open carrier like an AAM or Yukon. The Motive Gear one is only about $175. Getting one out of a junk yard is impossible because most 14-bolts come with a G80. On the rare occasion a 14-Bolt with an open carrier hits the junk yard it is "Gone in 60 Seconds".
