Diff or transfercase? The sami 6.5:1 transfercase gears I got had TG stamped in them.

i think the tg tcase gears are TG, and the diff gears are a variety of different brands. most people say they are yukon, but i've heard otherwise. I wish i had my 5.29 set with me, i'd let you know what it had stamped on the side. i cant remember.

I've been told they are crappy to setup by my diff guy, they've done lots of them so I trust his opinion. Patterns are all over the place, good in one spot bad in another.

I have bought a few batches of gears from trail gear, the first batch was yukons, because they were waiting for their overseas shipment and did,nt want to not have anything in stock.
The last couple of orders have been their gears that are made in china or wherever and have set up very nice, no worse than yukon, genuine or anyone else.
Just my expierience.

MIG'DHORSE · May 22, 2008

haven't had mine set up... so i wouldn't know of their quality.

Stay away from TG stuff and buy yukons if anything....

Ask Taylor about the TG 3rd that I rebuilt for him.

I think you are thinking genuine gear, X2 for precision being good stuff. TG was selling youkon but like was said before that was just to fill orders until their cheapo china gears or whatever came in.

I am a customer of yours (bought a Nitro 5.13 Dana 60 set the other day and liking them so far), but draggin up a 1.5 year old thread to pimp your gears is pretty darn close to scamming. I think vendors contributing technical data is awesome, but its not like we were asking about nitro gears.

Lol yah thats lame. I started reading the thread then noticed the dates... :haha:

MIG'DHORSE · Sep 23, 2009
