I would like to know your experiences with differant gear manufacturers. I am looking at purchasing some and i was wondering what you all have. Thanks.

SPICER, nothing but.

I run spicer.....heard they make they best

spicer here, too

Spicer:cool:

you forgot superior.

I have superior in the front, spicer in the rear.

Number one choice should be Dana/Spicer gears - if you can get them - you will NOT be sorry.

Second in line would be US Gear - they are hands down the best gear manufacturer in the US - and actually make gears for some of the other companies mentioned.

As for the rest - just use one of the two above and you won't have to worry about them, now will you? :p ;) :D

Used and only used DANA/spicer, of course since I only have Dana rears.

:flipoff2:

they are still stock 4.10 gears! tough and reliable!

bu ti would like to get a 5.29 ratio soon.:D

had no problems with my Precision and U.S. gears..

Dana/Spicer front, US Gear rear -- never had a problem with either brand.

stock 4.10 toyota gears. Now what about yukon gears? i know they dont make there own gears but what about the gears they use?

Yukon is junk, at first they may have been made by US Gear but not now. I'm pretty sure Randy has Genuine Gear making them now. I'm just not sure about buying from Randy's anymore. I friend of mine ordered 4.56 Dana/Spicer gears and they tried to give him the Yukon gears in the Dana box!:mad2:

Richmond all others just dont cut it

Dana/Spicer. They're 56 years old, and still seem fine ;)

precisions:D

I have never heard of a problem with Randy's until now. I have had nothing but good experience with them, and yukon gears have yet to let me down.
The customer service at Randy's has been top notch, if you had problems, then I guess I have just been really lucky.

Brian--

Diddo. I run Randy's Yukon gears in my toy, and when I swap to 5.29's, I will run Randy's again. Great customer service.

Not sure about Yukons, but I gotta agree Randy's customer service is the best. A couple years ago when I was setting up an AMC 20 I needed some carrier shims, no luck finding AMC ones around here, called Randy's ready to order some and rather than sell me a shim pack the guy told me to go down to my local GM dealer, he gave me the GM part number for a shim pack that works in an AMC 20. Great service!

Superior Axle and Gear 5.29's in front 4 cyl hogs head

Precision 5.29's in rear V6 hogs head

Yukons are made by a variety of manufacturers, depending on application.

NONE are made by genuine gear, and ALL are made in the USA.

My 4.88's are made by US GEAR. Sometimes you get DANA, sometimes Precision, it's all about who makes the best gear for the application, and who Randy can get a quantity deal from.

And, as mentioned, the customer service kicks ass. I had my gears from Seattle in less than 48 hours!

Only Genuine Dana/Spicer for me baby!

I take it you know gears since thats how you make a living, is there a reason why you say Richmond?

Spicer Rear/ Yukon front. From Randy's- great service,price and knowledge.

Always Precision Gear or Dana for me.:D

From looking at the poll it doesn't seem to matter what which gear manufacturer is used.
Hey Gearman,why do you choose Richmond?

I run randys 4.56 and havent had a problem with them yet. Then agine im only running 35 inch tires and a six cylinder engine.

I'm going to be running Motive Gears...putting them in this weekend.
