Does anyone know for sure if the current 8.8" ring and pinion gears offered by Ford as well as others such as Motive, will work in the 05 read end ? I would like to order some 4.10 gears next week, but need some feedback first.

I spoke with Ford Racing - they ARE the same. So I have order some 4.10 Motive Gears and install kit.
I have an AUTO so once they are in, I will update everyone on the ride after install.

Bryan,
Not that they've been in for awhile, any problems?
I'm thinking about 4.10's in my 05 GT conv, but want to make sure it's a good move before I dive in.
You happy? Any side effects?
Any advice, guidance or comments are greatly appreciated.
What set did you get? Brand? Blace? etc.

No issues, no whine, no noise at all. I love the 4:10 gears, I think they are a great street gear. I puchased the Motive gears and have been very happy with them. 
As far as guidance, make sure you get a mechanic who knows how to install gears

when I put 3.73s in my '98, the word was that it would improve the in-town gas milage, but kill the highway milage... it killed it all accross the board, but only because I couldn't keep my foot out of it long enough to do the experiment. I loved it.... and when I get my '06, that's one of my first stops...
