Revolution Gear & Axle Pre-89 1-Ton Swap GM 14-Bolt Dana 60 Reverse Thick 5.38 Ratio Gear Package

This Revolution Gear & Axle gear package features a 5.38 ratio, specifically designed for pre-1989 1-ton truck swaps involving the GM 14-bolt and Dana 60 reverse cut differentials. The 5.38 ratio is a popular choice for vehicles running larger tires, allowing the engine to operate at more efficient RPMs on the highway while still providing ample torque for off-road or towing situations. This package is built to handle the demands of heavy-duty applications.

The gears themselves are manufactured with precision to ensure smooth engagement and quiet operation. Revolution Gear & Axle is known for producing well-built drivetrain components, and this kit is no exception. It includes all the necessary installation components to properly set up your differential. This means you get a complete package that simplifies the installation process, ensuring that all parts work together harmoniously for optimal performance and durability. Proper installation is key for any gear set, and having all the required bearings, shims, and hardware in one box saves you time and potential headaches sourcing individual pieces.

When undertaking a 1-ton swap, especially with a reverse cut differential like the Dana 60, choosing the right gear ratio is critical for matching your tire size and intended use. This 5.38 ratio is a strong option for those looking to maximize their vehicle's performance with tires typically in the 37-inch to 40-inch range, though actual needs can vary based on engine power and driving style. Ensure you have the proper tools and knowledge for differential installation, or consult a professional mechanic to get the most out of this high-performance gear package.
