I am Very Pleased with the thick 4.88 Rubicon Yukon gears, and the service I got from Randys Ring and Pinion fer my D44's.
They really know how to take care of a guy at randys!
I had problems with getting the wrong rear gear set from them at first and ended up missing the big labor day mudrun. A bunch of things did not start out the best getting the wrong parts and all, and then not getting the replacements because of a computer glitch on their new system that prevented the nextday air shipment for saturday dilivery.
That was not cool... I Missed out on one of the biggest mudruns of the year that I really wanted to go to being the leader of the pack up here...
So I called monday and talked to the manager, I believe his name was mike.
Mike says he will look into it and call me back as soon as he can. ok, so I pop in "Pirates of the Rubicon" video thinking it will be a while before he gets back and about 5 mins into the video He calls me back, tells me that I should have gotten the right gears in the first place, the first time I called and that this whole deal was bullshit. He then goes on to tell me that this is not how you do busness and appolgized all over the place and said "You know what, I am so sorry about all this, I'm gonna refund ALL your money." I said "Are you serious?!!!"
Now, I donno if you people know, but thick 4.88 rubicon gear set is $200 just for the gears and special spacers. My order was for Gears front and back with full install kits. My bill was not pretty, so when he said that he was going to give me all my money back, I could not believe it.
I waited for the mail for confermation that my creditcard had been credited and when it came there was a bonus! not only did they even refund my shipping costs, but they gave me money back on 2 pinion seals that were suposed to be Rubicon front axle seals.
Then, when I finnaly got my right gears I set them up that night! the guys at randys will help you every step of the way if need be. They seem to know a great deal about axles and It is my guess, that when they get the computer bug fixed everything will flow smothe and you will get the right parts the first time.
That is unless you go to put a rubicon rear locker in an 88 dana 44
the problem with getting the wrong gears was the first guy I talked to did not know rubicon axles and that they use thick gears. I bet you he knows now.
On the back of the randys resiept it says that performance gears are louder then stock gears. Well, I can't hear them at all but that might just be the swamper humm covering its tail.
As I said I am happy with randys ring and pinion and would do busness with them again.
Too Many Hours Left Till Moab!
