I wanna re-gear!!!

[tomahawk350]

So i've been searching ebay, craigslist, pirate, etc... for a deal on 4.56 or 4.88 gears for the Bronco. So before I buy anything I better ask, Whats good and what should I stay away from. Buying new I'll most likely get 4.88's. I see Motive gear and USA Standard on ebay quite a bit. I assume they are imported gears? Good?...Bad? Anyone running them?

And I should mention I'm broke and want to do this as cheaply as possible...

I have cheapy gears in my front D44. I dont remember what brand they were, but I havnt had any problems with it. No complaints, but if it ever does break them IM S.O.L. and will have to buy all new gears. I think there's only a 1 year warranty on them that is WAY gone... It's a gamble

I've had good luck with Yukon Gears too. I think I payed $140 for a new set of 5.38's years ago, & $120 each for the spools. Install kits are under $100.

i think 1 manufacture makes all gear sets then sells off the ones that are not to there spec to others to rebadge and sell. I dont have any info to prove this other than things I haves seen when buying parts in the past

Well that's reassuring...not...

Heard alot of good things about Yukon's but they are out of my price range...

Nothings out of your price range Toma if you just take a little more time and save up for what you want. Do it right the first time, even if you have to wait a few more months....

Sometimes we sell a lot of powdered metal at work as a "deviation" from the customer specification. Sometimes it is only out of spec my 0.0001% but regardless it is still out of spec, even though it will make no difference in the outcome of the final product.

Most of the time I think that the cheapy gear sets are manufactured overseas and they do not use top quality raw material. Between the material costs and the labor costs is where you will see your savings.....

Like I said, I run a cheap-o set in my front 44, with no issues thus far....
