cyrus said:Sure, If you like foriegn made forgings for your driveline components.
Aside from the "Buy American" syndrome, which is virtually impossible to live by these days, there is a quality control issue. Genuine Gear stuff is made to lower standards than Dana-Spicer ... or Superior. As for Yukon, reports I have read suggest they buy from multiple sources and repackage, so you don't really know what you are going to get. Some folks have good luck with Yukon, but I would not buy that brand.ECKSJAY said:If you live in the 50's this could be an issue for you...but it's impossible to get away from these days. It's a global economy, get used to it.
