Yukon Gear High Performance Gear Set For GM 11.5in in a 3.42 Ratio

What you get in this box is a high-performance ring and pinion gear set from Yukon Gear & Axle, designed for GM 11.5-inch rear differentials. This set includes the ring gear and the pinion gear, both crafted from high-grade steel. The specific ratio included here is 3.42, which is a popular choice for balancing towing capability with highway cruising efficiency, especially if you've upgraded to larger tires or added more power to your truck. This set is built to fit OEM specifications, meaning it's designed to integrate smoothly into your existing differential housing.

Yukon engineers put a lot of thought into the design of these gears. They've paid close attention to the tooth surface finish, which is treated to reduce friction and heat buildup. This is crucial for longevity, especially under high torque conditions or during extended periods of hard driving. The advanced heat-treating techniques used ensure the gears can handle the demands of increased horsepower and larger tire sizes that many truck owners opt for. Yukon stands behind their quality with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects, and they also offer an optional Y.E.S. Plan for lifetime coverage, giving you extra peace of mind.

This gear set is a solid option for a wide range of heavy-duty trucks, including popular models like the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and GMC Sierra 2500 HD, as well as Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. When installing a new gear set, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure to ensure optimal performance and durability. This usually involves a period of moderate driving without heavy loads or high speeds.
