Topic: Who makes the strongest ring gear?

[BigMike]

Just remember that no matter how strong the gear set is, 95% of it will only come from the gear set being properly set up. The proper pattern WILL make or break a ring and pinion.

Therefore get your gears setup as best as possible yourself or go through a highly reputable mechanic/business.

From what i have been told by people in the biz is that US Gear make gears for a lot of the "big name" company's. "The funny thing is that the gear in the Yukon box may very well end up being a Motive. (ZUK)"

You do understand that doesn't mean anything since Yukon is not always Yukon.

I think that the quality of the install and the skill of the installer is more important than the gear mfr.

  A buddy of mine got 175k on a 4.88 precision with a detroit running anywhere between 33-35" tires before breaking a pinion gear tooth and I think it only broke cus he was jumping the truck.

I agree with this.

X3 Its all in the install. Buy some gear and send them to Zuk with the third and you will be set

Just recieved my new R&P for the front of my 4runner.  Came in a Precision Box and they look like Motive markings.  I'm satisfied with that.

Just for some info on Richmond's, I just talked to a Richmond rep last weekend about this same thing and he told me that the only gears made in the USA are US gear and Richmond,  He also said that there are only a few gear manufacturers that make gears and stamp different names on them IE, Yukon precision etc.  I know this has already been said I just wanted to give you the info I was told by a Richmond rep who really seemed to know a lot about this stuff.

I've got PORC specials in mine.  They are Motives and were made in India.  They have held up to 1 year of wheeling on 33's.  We'll see what they do this year between the 40's
