AAM 4.10 gears are the best money can buy. The best part about it is they only cost $10-20 more than Yukon's. So, I really see no reason why anyone would buy anything other than AAM's unless your getting a ratio that they dont make for factory vehicles. They're heat treated to 1500 degrees from the factory....so their essentially broken in already.
