lookin good Ryan, did you set the gear or have them done?

 

I been told that USA standards are made by Yukon, the only difference being that USA's aren't ran for 3k miles before they are shipped to the customer like yukons are. I did notice that the gears aren't as worn down as most. gear marking compound notes show an oval wear mark & these rub the compound off across the whole tooth... thus the "loud winning" complaints they've gotten! We'll find out I guess

 

I set them in the rear, but I'm having the front set by Cory's (X1994J) dad! The 8.25 wasn't to bad to set up, just nerve racking! Lol

 

what tranny have you got?

 

The AW4 auto. Why?

 

interesting. i think ill order them then. i knew that yukon made them but didnt know the "diffrence" thanks for the info.

 

Yep but I just kinda covered my eyes & pointed at the monitor! I've found that to be the best way to pick products! Lol

 

I just saved a bunch of money a car insurance by picking up these & price matching to 4x4groupbuy.com 8.25 = $124, D30 = $98!!!

it just doesnt say anywhere that i could see. im gonna be running the same setup as far as gears go but with either a puegout or ax15.

 

Out with the old...




In with the new!!!

 

whats the freeway like with 4.56 and 35's trying to decide if 4.88s is the way to go. thanks in adv

 

Sweet build thread man. Lookin like those 35's might rub a tad in a flex?

 

I'm sure they will rub a bit, no biggy! Sheet metal fears me Haha

The main reason I didn't wanna go with 4.88s is you"ll have to replace the carrier, so where I went with a lunch box locker it would have been just 1 more thing to add to the list...

 

Ya I haven't got it on the freeway yet, cause the gears need some good break in time. They felt really good up to 35mph tho!

 

Thanks to dpace I got the 3.73 & up D30 carrier I needed to finish the gear install! Also my LF hub & bearing were shot, so I got a shiny new hub too...
