Hey dudes-
My 8.25 rear axle grenaded, the Ring and Pinion was already noisy because of a crappy install from the shop who regeared it. (Bought the axle used.) I think they are USA standard gears, and I was told "They aren't warrantied for noise." Whatever.
Anyway, one of the bearings took a dump and my jeep is stuck at work now, with a mixture of some magical burnt JB weld looking gear oil paste pouring out of the pinion bearing cavity. Oooopps.
I don't know what do now, I have the money, and I can do the install at work for free with help. I was going to go Yukon, but according to rwkhaus and Randy's ring and pinion, Yukon is apparently out of stock of the 4.56 gears.
My questions- (The axle is a 29 Spline 8.25, in the 4.56 ratio.)
What brand should I purchase for the best durability, strength, and quiet running? Should I wait for the Yukons if they are that good?
Where should I buy them? I need a master install kit also. (Online)
I want to order them ASAP.
Thank you!
Sean
