Ok. So i have to buy my gears for my truck soon and i thought i had what i needed and then noticed that its for the 8.8 rear and front.. Well my truck has the 8.8 rear but a dana 35 front.

So, is there a master install kit with everything i need for my truck with the 8.8 rear and dana 35 front?

EDIT: I need 4.56

 

Go to either Summit racing or JEGS and you will find everything you need for a rear 8.8 and dana 35. Just make sure you dont buy the parts for a dana 35 TTB.

 

Summit Racing, don't order from 4WP!.

 

i ordered my gears from jaw's gears as it was the cheapest I found for the D35

 

Reider's good, but Summit's great too. I had fantastic 2 day service without special shipping from Brenspeed on eBay. I doubt they have D35 stuff though.

 

So, I have to buy two sep. kits than

 

Yea, One for the 8.8 and the d35. Dont think anyone makes a combo kit. And as mentioned, make sure the gears for the d35 are not for a ttb d35

 

that is where I got my gears for the '97....too 3 weeks for delivery from California...

the Dana 35 TTB gears are reverse cut gears.....you need the standard rotation gears...

you will need to buy the parts seperate.....here is what you will need:
- front gears (standard rotation Dana 35 gears)
- front master install kit
- rear gears (8.8)
- rear master install kit

I recommend master install kits because they come with everything you need to do a proper install of gears (ring gear bolts, all the bearings, shims, crush sleeve, and mesh marking compound)

 

How much do places usually charge to install gears?

 

hourly rate is roughly $80 an hour.....rear probably takes 2-3 hours and front 6-8.....

 

Takes me forever, lol. My rear takes about what the front takes for most (if I have to do it under the truck that is.)

 

Good freakin gosh..thats crazy..I think Ill stick with my 4.10s for a little while lol

 

Well, my rear was hosed with a broken pinion and I needed to clean it out real good as well, lol. I took my time -- I don't want to do it yet again!

 

Whew buddy I guess not!

 

your front is easier because of the SAS silly!

 

Thanks Guys!
