What is the purpose of changing the gear ratio?

Changing your gear ratio affects how your vehicle accelerates and cruises. A lower numerical ratio, like 3.73, generally improves highway fuel economy, while a higher numerical ratio improves acceleration.

Does this gear set come with installation hardware?

This listing is for the ring and pinion gear set only. Installation typically requires additional components such as bearings, seals, and shims, which are usually sold separately.

What is the break-in procedure for new gears?

After installation, it's crucial to follow a specific break-in procedure recommended by the manufacturer. This usually involves a series of moderate-speed drives with periods of cooling to properly seat the new gear surfaces.
