Biggest key is the set-up, and proper break-in
speaking of which...
anybody have experience with Spicer gears for toyotas?
Thanks guys, I'll get to my bargain shopping now. Are G2 any good I see them everywhere.
I think they have a 10 year warranty
:haha:
G2's are out there...Guys on here run 'em, but I haven't seen any reports about their gears...Their axles however, guys have opinions, 99redtj is one of 'em...maybe he'll report with what he knows...And he wheels pretty hard...
Well, there they are. Price? Probably $100 more than anyone else. They do make nice stuff tho.

This is truth! There's not much way to tell what gears are better than others because, as stated a couple of times already, setup and break in is 90% of what makes a gearset last, not what brand.Ill say it again, 9 out of 10 diffs I fix were killed by the previous installer, not the owners right foot. :awesomework:
Ok ive noticed a trend here.... pile of broken yukons.
I now have some broken yukons. They were set up as good as the gears would allow.
How does one tooth break on a dana sixty? There are always at least two teeth in contact at all times. I know at least ten people who have experienced the same issue with yukons. Mine are 5:38 but it appears to me to not be ratio related.
Looking for something else, just found out nitro and usa alloy both have thier gears made in third world countries like korea....
If i find any made in usa ill post.
If anyone has any suggestions im open for advice.
