I have liked Precision over the years.

 

Actually, I really have never had a gear issue with ayones gears including Yukon, Genuine Gear, Dana, Precision, etc.

 

The most important thing is that you get some one really good to set them up.

 

Good luck.

Getting somebody to set the gears won't be a problem. Just wanted to have a good set of gears. I only heard do not buy the cheap set.

I forgot that Richmond has been pretty nice gears (along with Precision) too. Richmond cut the gears in my TrueHi9 and so far so good :thumbsup:

How do you tell if you need reverse rotation gears or regulare gears also has anybody used yukon gears. thanks

[Pete M]

"reverse rotation" is an improper term. nothing actually rotates in reverse. A more correct term is reverse cut, since the ring gear teeth are cut in the other direction. High pinion differentials use reverse cut gears. Low pinion diffs use regular cut gears. :thumbsup:

So is a 1998 8.8 out of explorer a high pinion or is there a serial #.

[Pete M]

low pinion. almost every rear axle ever is low pinion. :thumbsup:

 

 

low pinion on the left, high on the right:
