Hey guys.
I just wanted some opinions on what brand gears i should buy.I've only used Precision gear ring and pinions.
Any comments would be helpful.

Thanks.

I have Precision Gear and have no complaints - no noise at all.

For 8.8" Ford. I prefer Ford Motorsport or US Gear. For Dana front & rear axles, I prefer Dana.

 

I keep hearing good things about Richmond gears.
Any comments?

 

dvldog,
i have richmond gears, but the only thing i can compare them to is the stock gears because that is all ive tried. a friend of mine who did the install for me told me that they're great quality, and that he only uses richmond in his trucks, which is why i went with them. ive had mine in for about 2.5 years and ive had absolutely zero problems since the day they went it. no whine or anything like that. are you planning on changing the gear ratio on that beast?

 

No,i'm gonna stick with 5.13's
The reason i'm asking about gears is because i sheared 4 teeth off my ring gear the other day.
I just installed a 2800 RPM B&M Holeshot torque converter,and i kinda over did with the line-locks.....just showing off.
Man do i regret it now!
I guess it's ALOT of stress on the ring and pinion when i'm spinning those 40" boggers
O well,you live and learn.

Thanks for all the help guys.
