Yukon Gear Pinion install Kit For 09+ GM 8.6in Diff

When you're setting up new gears in your differential, especially on a vehicle with lower mileage where you can reuse the carrier bearings and races, a good pinion install kit is essential. This kit from Yukon Gear & Axle is designed for 2009 and newer GM 8.6-inch differentials, covering a wide range of trucks and SUVs like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Chevrolet Tahoe.

Inside this kit, you'll find quality Timken bearings and races for the pinion, which are crucial for smooth operation and longevity. It also includes a high-quality pinion seal to keep gear oil where it belongs, a crush sleeve for setting proper pinion bearing preload, a complete set of pinion shims to dial in your gear pattern, and even marking compound with a brush so you can check your backlash and pattern. Yukon does their homework to ensure all the necessary small parts are included for a proper gear installation.
