Revolution Gear & Axle 11-16 Ford F-250 F10.5-D60RT Timken 5.38 Ratio Gear Package

This 5.38 ratio gear package from Revolution Gear & Axle is built around a set of Timken bearings, a well-known name for their durability and precision. This specific ratio is a significant change from stock, designed to help you get the most out of larger tires or to improve performance when towing heavy loads with your 2011-2016 Ford F-250 or F-350 equipped with the Sterling 10.5" rear axle. Changing your gear ratio affects how your engine's power is delivered to the wheels; a numerically higher ratio like 5.38 means more torque to the ground, which is beneficial for getting heavy vehicles moving or maintaining speed under strain.

Inside this comprehensive kit, you'll find everything needed for a proper differential installation. Revolution Gear & Axle includes a full Timken bearing and seal kit, ensuring that all the rotating components have high-quality support. This package also contains the necessary installation hardware, such as ring gear bolts and pinion nuts, along with crush sleeves or shims for precise setup. The focus here is on providing a complete solution, so you can tackle the job with confidence, knowing you have the right parts for a solid rebuild. This gear set is manufactured to meet strict tolerances, aiming for quiet operation and long-term reliability.

When installing a new gear set, especially one that changes your ratio significantly, it's important to follow the manufacturer's break-in procedure. This typically involves a period of moderate driving without heavy acceleration or towing, followed by an oil change. This process allows the new gear teeth to properly mate and wear in, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. This package is a solid option for anyone looking to re-gear their heavy-duty Ford truck for improved towing or to accommodate larger tire sizes.
