Yukon

 

Yukon, end of story.

 

I did a set of G2s for my nephew. Seemed like a good set..

 

who sells Yukon gears?

 

opcorn:

SEARCH for Motive, Yukon, Richmond, Ron's Ring and Pinion, and Ebay for sets (where I got mine). You should be able to find a lot of threads on this topic with many reviews that should narrow it down for you. I went with Motive because the front and rear gears w/ master install kits were $500 to my door...

 

Yukon here too, the guy that did my install said pretty much any of the major brands are a good choice.
Here's the link to ron's ring and pinion. I got my stuff from their and am happy with them.

In for opinions.

 

Motives here. Back in the 90s they were pretty bad quality, not anymore. Mine is a daily driver and they are silent.

 

Yukon, Richmond, USA Gear, whatever you get do not accept a gear set with a spacer ring, call before you buy and verify there is no spacer ring.

 

Yukons are over rated. Ive had Genuine Gear G2 gears for almost 120k and not one problem and they are still dead silent. I used to beat on them pretty bad for about the first 30-50k and no problems.

 

Shouldn't say funny.. that is the best sig pic I've seen so far !

G2's are better than the original genuines. The original genuines were made from cheap Chinese steel. Quality control was horrible, so some guys would get sets that would take any amount of abuse, and some people got sets that broke within 50 miles of street driving. Of course there is a lot in between too.

I for one will never buy gears with the genuine name on the box.

Thats what Ive read. Ive seen tons of people dog them pretty bad, but if they are the only gear manufacturer to give a lifetime warranty, they cant be all that bad. When I ordered them from 4WP, the guy said the G2s are the way to go and said they are made a whole lot better and I *think* he said that someone else actually makes the G2 gears. When I got my front gears, it had a Motive PN on the box and Motive instructions with them.

Their install kits also use Timken bearings.

 

Hmmm that's interesting about the part numbers.

Yeah lifetime warranty is nice, but it doesn't cover labor (if you can't do it), tow if you need one, and if it explodes your diff also.

 

Do I need to buy a new Gear kit or do I just need to buy ring & pin

I emailed these guys, they said $399.99 for 4.56 gears front and back including master install kits for both!
I replied and asked what brand they were, they havent responded yet. Any clue?

 

Yea they quoted me a great price and I think it was like American Standard or something I never heard of so I just switched to Yukon and it was $170 more

 

Yea, i did some ebay searching and found them
