Title: Gears??
Post by: The_Dealer on September 01, 2013, 01:32:02 PM
Who do you use for regearing your axles?? What can I expect to pay for front and rear gear setup(no lockers) if I already have the gears and install kit

200-300 an axle depending on where you go.

Thanks guys, got my quote from Adam, so when my funds get right, ill schedule it up. I'm on 33's with the 32rh. I plan to go to 35's when these wear out. Will 4.10's be the way to go?

I'm sure smarter folks than me will chime in.....  For the 35's and the 3 speed auto I believe you are going to want 4.56.  Do you run much highway?  If so the 4.56 is going to push your RPM's up there with the 33's.  What gears do you have now?  Suffer now or suffer later.

4.88 is the way to go.

Has anyone broke a R&P set of 4.88's in here? Wondering about the pinion size of it and how the gear deflection is.

@Will, I haven't, yet (a whole 50mi on it), but I do know the pinion in my d30 was very small.  The good-ish news for me is that I still have the low power 4.0 with my 4.88s.

I have had 4.88s in my D30 for about a year.  I beat on them fairly hard from time to time.  No issues so far.  Getting ready to upgrade axles, so they are probably about to become the weak link for me.  Not too concerned about it though.

Have you broken the axle shafts with the 4.88s?

Ran 4.88s in my 30 front for years. Not one issue. Just do it!

Stock engine when those gears went?  Was it due to any other type of failure that caused a rapid energy unload?

My good buddy broke 3 sets of 4.88's in his HP 30.

1 was the head sheared off the pinion and it fell out the housing, the other 2 broke 3-5 teeth of the ring gear. The 4.56 pinion is bigger than the 4.88 by a good little bit.

Running a waggy ford 44 combo now.

The market is flooded with gear brands and companies selling gears that didn't exist a decade ago. Granted I imagine a lot of them are sourcing them from the same manufacturing facility. In the toyota world, this is the difference between Marlin Crawler gears which are made in Japan by the same supplier for OEM versus buying Trail Gear stuff (talking about transfer case gears here but you get the idea).

So yes the ratio has an effect on the gear strength especially in a small ring gear application, but also don't overlook gear brand/quality because than makes a difference as well.
