Product Details

If you're looking to optimize your GM vehicle's drivetrain, this high-performance ring and pinion gear set from Yukon Gear & Axle is a solid choice. Designed for GM 8.2-inch differentials, this set features a 3.08 gear ratio, which is a popular choice for balancing highway cruising comfort with improved acceleration, especially if you've upgraded to larger tires or added more horsepower. This set fits a range of classic GM vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Chevelle, Impala, and Camaro from the mid-60s to early-70s.

Yukon engineers put a lot of thought into these gears. They use high-grade steel for both the ring and pinion, and the tooth surface finish is specifically designed to reduce friction and heat. This means less wear and tear, especially under high torque conditions or during long drives. The fitment is designed to OEM specifications, ensuring a proper installation when paired with the correct installation kit. Yukon also backs these gears with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects, and they offer an optional Y.E.S. Plan for lifetime coverage.

When installing a gear set like this, it's important to remember that it's not a simple bolt-on job. You'll need a proper installation kit, which typically includes bearings, seals, and shims, and it's highly recommended to have this work done by a qualified technician. Proper gear pattern setup and break-in procedures are crucial for ensuring the longevity and performance of your new gears.
