Hi guys,
I am just looking for gears for my jeep, I found few on ebay, but not sure about the brands. Is there a big differenc in quality? If, what company do you prefer? Thanks for any advice.
I communicate with this guy:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DANA-...Q5fAccessories

 

I duno about the gears, but NICE PICTURE!!!!

 

When I did mine I wanted good quality.

If you're gonna spend the money do it right the first time.

Look at randys ring and pinion for good prices.

 

I have done it already once, but wrong. So its too noisy, and once when we drove in water, I got water into the differential and it demaged the diff. bearings and it had to be done again, but still its too noisy. I have got 4,11. But now I would like to do it correctly and have quiete in the car

 

x2 on Randy's, give them a call. I doubt seriously that the gears are Dana Spicer brand, they said Motive, don't know who makes Motive now, or if they're made in the USA, I know they used to be good parts. Yukon bought Superior, so any new gears from Superior are actually Yukons. Some think these are not the best. I would buy Dana Spicer brand whenever possible for the 30 and 35, none available for the 8.25. I would be wary of Chinese gears (or maybe I'm just paranoid)

 

motive makes a very good gear along with randys, superior and yukon. as far as being made in the USA i dont think any are now. at least not the cheap ones. if i were to buy gears i would get either motive or superior.

 

And what do you say about "Optimums"? I found few of these. I am not sure if should I buy 4.88 or 4,56 I want to run 33" tires. And I think that the slower, the better, but not sure about that watchword.
And one more question, is there any differenc on Dana 30's in the front? I read somewhere, that pinion can be shorter or longer. How can I find that out, what kind is in my diff?
Thanks

 

There is a high pinion dana 30, that is reverse cut. Found on YJs and XJs 84-99, and not sure what others. The low pinion dana 30 is standard cut and found on the TJs, and ??? You probably have the HP D30. I just ordered my gears from Robert RWKHausSupply.com

Best prices I could find, and believe me, I looked everwhere. I emailed him a few times, and he responded right away. Good service so far.

 

I gave him a note, so we will see. I found on Ebay Motive gears for 390 Dollars and its able to send it to the Czech republic so we will see whose price is better. Thanks

 

It showed up too expensive from this guy, so I will probably get those from ebay. The shipping is horrible
