Yukon Gear High Performance Gear Set For GM 8.2in in a 3.36 Ratio

If you're looking to change the gear ratio in your GM 8.2" rear end, this high-performance ring and pinion gear set from Yukon Gear & Axle is a solid option. With a 3.36 ratio, it's designed to optimize performance whether you've added more horsepower, upgraded to larger tires, or just want to improve your vehicle's traction and acceleration. This set is built for the GM 8.2" axle, a common rear end found in many classic Chevrolet and other GM vehicles from the mid-60s through the early-70s, including models like the Chevrolet Chevelle, Impala, and Camaro.

Yukon engineers put a lot of thought into these sets. They use high-grade steel for both the ring and pinion gears, 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, so you can expect it to install correctly into your existing differential housing. Yukon also backs these sets with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects, and they offer an optional Y.E.S. Plan for lifetime coverage.

When installing a new gear set, it's important to follow the manufacturer's break-in procedure carefully to ensure proper seating and longevity. This typically involves a period of moderate driving without hard acceleration or heavy loads. You'll also need to ensure you have the correct gear oil and any necessary installation components, such as bearings and seals, which are usually sold separately.
