Yukon 70-96 Chevrolet Caprice Limited Slip & Re-Gear Kit - 8.5in Diff 28 Spline 3.42 Ratio

If you're looking to significantly improve the traction and acceleration of your classic GM vehicle, this re-gear and limited slip differential kit from Yukon Gear & Axle is a solid choice. It's designed to work with the popular GM 8.5-inch differential, found in a wide range of vehicles from the 1969-1996 Chevrolet Caprice and Impala to the 1969-1981 Chevrolet Camaro and many Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models. This kit gives you the opportunity to not only upgrade your differential's performance but also to change your gear ratio for better acceleration or cruising.

Inside this comprehensive package, you'll find everything needed to rebuild your differential with improved components. It includes a Yukon Dura Grip limited-slip differential unit, which helps put power to both rear wheels for better grip in slippery conditions or during hard acceleration. You also get a new ring and pinion gear set with a 3.42 ratio, which offers a noticeable improvement in acceleration compared to stock ratios. To ensure a proper installation, the kit also contains all the necessary bearings and installation hardware, including 2.25-inch OD bearings and a 10-bolt ring gear setup. The pinion gear is 28-spline, matching the Dura Grip unit.

This kit is a substantial upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their vehicle's drivetrain. It's built with Yukon's reputation for durable parts, often tested in demanding off-road conditions, so you can be confident in its ability to handle increased power and stress. When undertaking this kind of rebuild, it's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and torque specifications to ensure a long-lasting and reliable installation.
