What Gears to buy..
 

hey, Kinda compiling numbers and parts...this winter im putting a tru trac in, and want to go from 3:73 to 4:10's

What brand gears is the best bet for stength???

I've got Yukon brand gears, they are an OEM...

AAM (GM Gears)

what rear does the truck have? 2wd, g80...8.5"

You have an 8.625" Rear end but most of your parts are ordered for the 8.5"

yukon are NOT OEM and i would not get yukon again

i had 2 bad sets of yukon gears from randy's in my truck and they both made noise big time and i had trouble getting them 2 make it good

i finally got OEM gears and the are whisper quit

Ive always heard that OEM's are the strongest... but again thats what ive heard...

AAM gears are OEM. I've had no experience with other gears but everyone seems to agree that AAM are quiet and strong. Your truck has a 30 spline 8.625" rear (parts interchange with 8.5" rears).

I just had Yukon gears installed. They are made in India , I think. The guy that installed them said they were "good" gears, just break them in easy . :drive:

Yukons are made by AAM in america with a massive Made in the USA stamp
