lets talk gears
« on: September 27, 2010, 06:42:34 PM »
I know we talk alot about gears and gearing choice here on the forum, but I would like to know where you guys are purchasing your gears. Also, what are the brands that you guys are using? I am looking for a good set of gears that is not to expensive, but I do not want to buy a crappy ring and pinion either. You know, some happy medium between price and realiabilty. Thanks for all the input!

G2 are rebranded/repackaged gears - it depends on your luck what you get. I would stick with Yukon or Motive (in no particular order).

I prefer Spicer gears if it's a Dana axle.

As for where I buy gears, well I shop around.  The last place I ordered gears was at  West Coast Differential in Rancho Cordova.  There are a lot of good places though.

No, that's the only downside.  Then again I don't have a D35c.   :doggy: :lol:

I bought Yukon gears everyone I spoke with said they are one of the best options when looking at price versus cost.  I shopped around and bought them from a guy in my local club who sells parts on the side.
