hello once again. I have a 96 cherokee with dana 44s recently i broke both axle shafts and cracked the welded gears so i bought new shafts and gears and was able to get a used Yukon spool from a friend. I called the local drivetrain place (coast driveline) to see how much it would be to install everything he gave me a price but said he wouldnt do it because of the Yukon spool. He said there crap. Has anyone ran one of these or heard anything about them, any suggestions. I was thinking about getting the G2 spool if i should get a new spool. Thanks

never heard that. in my eyes all spools are crap though. does that place you got a quote from sell yukon? i have ran many gear sets and we sell yukons in the shop and never hard an issue with them

There is nothing wrong with Yukon products...only a bad installer

Alloy, Yukon, superior...etc are all good products. You get what you pay for but a spool is a spool and with zero moving parts it's a no brainer but as for it being junk I highly doubt it

If you got the dime get it magnafluxed to check for cracks if you feel uncomfortable

No he doesnt. he recommended richmond and strange spools

STRANGE?!?!?!? yeah ok get a second opinion you're not hitting the 1/4 mile track strange is rediculously expensive

I run a yukon spool in my rear 35 spline dana 60 and flog it unmercifully on 39.5 TSL's so I bet you'll be fine.

this is why he doesnt like yukon. he doesnt sell them. that being said a spool is a spool. a richmond, yukon, and strange spools are all the same, a spool.

i would not go back there. wouldnt trust them.
