Yukon Ring & Pinion Gears front & rear differentials | RANDYS

Yukon Gear & Axle Ring & Pinion

Unrivaled Performance & Quality

Yukon Gear & Axle ring & pinions set the industry standard for quality, performance, and durability.

Ring & pinions come in a selection of gear ratios for both front and rear differentials that vary the amount of torque is applied to your tires. This ratio affects off-the-line performance, gas mileage, off-road crawling capabilities, and overall drivability. The larger diameter of bigger than stock tires changes the ratio, resulting in lackluster acceleration, poor towing, and labored climbing. Big-tire rigs require larger, deeper gears in a higher numerical ratio to transfer power properly and restore your ride’s stock driving characteristics.

Yukon’s engineers use state-of-the-art design and testing processes, backed by two in-house quality assurance labs, to ensure each gearset meets exacting specifications, for hardness via heat-treating, and torsional strength.

Gear tooth surface finishes on all Yukon ring & pinion gearsets are designed to reduce both friction and heat. This quality provides the performance to withstand the rigors of off-road racing, intense trail runs and racing in heavily modified, high-horsepower vehicles.

All Yukon ring & pinion gearsets come with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Yukon also offers its Y.E.S. Plan for a lifetime, comprehensive, no-questions-asked protection plan covering your gears for as long as you own the vehicle.

To protect your investment, rely on the experts at Yukon Gear and Axle as we describe how to properly break-in your Ring and Pinion gears.

Proven in the most demanding forms of motorsports like extreme off-roading in Ultra4 Racing, Yukon has been the Official Ring & Pinion of Ultra4 for more than 10 years.

Introduction
UNDERSTANDING THICK RING GEARS & CARRIER BREAKS

A carrier break is the point where the numeric increase in gear ratio necessitates a new/different carrier be used. The act of increasing the numerical ratio of a gear set results in the diameter of the pinion gear becoming smaller. To maintain proper contact, the thickness of the ring gear must be increased. The point at which thickening is no longer viable is known as the Carrier Break, which necessitates the move to a larger carrier with a taller deck height. 

PROPERLY SETTING PRELOAD WITH SIDE ADJUSTERS
There are several types of rear ends that use a threaded side adjuster be it a single adjuster or one on both sides of carrier. The most commonly known rears with this type of carrier adjustment are the Chrysler 7.25-8.25-8.75-9.25, Ford 9”, GM 8.25” IFS, Suzuki Samurai, & Toyota. Click on the image to continue reading more.
