1000 hours. it has proven itself to work i that app. pull it off and have it gone thru by somebody that will stand behind their work. your maintanance and driving work obviously. i would just keep it the same.

AADS addresses several issues with their 1-4 upgrades but the upper gear set, until someone develops a better, stronger upper gear set they will fail. you can treat XR gears all you want but they'll break.

Thank you for the responses! I am assuming that some of you have used AADS before and have been happy. What are your opinions on the upgaded gear sets?

I am honestly pleased with what I have but figured that I would never get this lucky again, so was hoping when I do have an issue to go with something better. Is there a better gear set to go with? And also who does the best at rebuilding these drives?

Merc is the only choice for gear sets. Some places will cryo treat the Merc gears.

A direct replacement would be great, so I could hopefully just bolt up and go when something does happen. I can always just go back with the Bravo but I like overkill and not having to worry about things. Thank you for the input and any more is greatly appreciated as im trying to get educated.

Hi Whiteowl,
We're also in NC. What kind of Drive-Shower do you have on your outdrive?

I have a simrek shower on my B3X and am very happy with it.
