Richmond gear part #?

evans16 · 08-12-2010, 02:19 PM

Hey guys, I am redoing my Dana 35 out of a 91 ranger and looking to get new gears. I am in need of 4.56's, and interested in 3 different brands. Motive and superior are two, but the third is Richmond. Now I can not find a part number for the rev cut gears for the Dana 35 from Richmond! I phones the company and he said they don't make them, however I see multiple threads of people saying they have them!? I just want some help here! Also any input on all three would help also! Thanks!

I've got a set of D35 4.56 gears in my garage and I'm located in Calgary. Send me a pm if you're interested.

I don't recall seeing anyone that had Richmond front gears... Maybe it was for the rear?

In any case, I've heard a few negative reports on Richmond myself, though I have no personal experience with them.

Yukon and Nitro both seem to be decent quality (Yukon is what I have in the rear of mine). I've seen many positive reports on Superior's gears also, though I wasn't aware they were making HP D35 gears.

Yukon, Nitro, Superior and Motive area all excellent brands.

I would stay away from Precision tho.

Precision once was a good brand (my front 5.13s were made by Precision). But agreed, since being sold off to some Jeep company (Omixidia or something like that), they did go downhill.

Using Yukon gears, front and rear, on my truck with great results.
