Yukon Ring & Pinion Gear Set For Chrysler 11.5in in 2014+ RAM 2500 4.88 Ratio

If you're looking to re-gear your 2014 through 2019 Ram 2500, this Yukon Gear & Axle ring and pinion set is a solid option. This set features a 4.88 ratio, which is a popular choice for trucks running larger tires or used for heavy towing. By changing your gear ratio, you can bring your engine's RPMs back into a more efficient range, improving performance and potentially fuel economy when compared to stock gearing with larger tires.

Yukon designs these gears with a specific tooth surface finish aimed at reducing friction and heat. This is important because lower gears generate more heat during operation, especially under load. Using high-grade steel for both the ring and pinion, Yukon ensures these gears are built to handle the torque demands of a heavy-duty truck. They are designed to fit the Chrysler 11.5-inch rear differential with a 12-bolt ring gear and a 2.125-inch bearing journal, matching OEM specifications for a precise installation.

When you install this gear set, you'll want to follow the proper break-in procedure recommended by Yukon Gear & Axle. This typically involves a period of moderate driving without heavy acceleration or towing to allow the new gears to properly seat. This set is designed for a direct fit, but professional installation is recommended due to the specialized tools and knowledge required for setting gear backlash and pattern.
