this is for the people with 4.56 or lower gears in their 8.8........do i need the notched cross pin? 4 wheel parts gear speciliast dont sell them anymore nor recommend them?

 

I know I had to get it for my 5.13's, but that's all I know.

5.13s on a bagged truck, man youll be i 4th by the time you get out of the intersection. I know in our books at 4WP they have an * next to 4.30s-5.13s, which means it needs the new crosspin.

ill be getting a couple, for my 4.88s, yes two of them, hehehe!!

 

why 2 of them.....i didn't know your truck was 4wd...............i saw they are now making 4.88's for the Dana 35 reverse cut

 

< me

 

cough d44, 8.8 cough

 

i would go ahead and order them from 4 Wheel Parts if i were you......i got mine, i hate to say it cause i hate 4 wheel parts, for $369 shipped to my door, front and rear gears, and 2 master install kits........

 

call randys ring and pinion see what they say.

 

i looked up the part number today, and its was F88/XLSM. Its a percision gear one. I hope you didnt get G/G gears, they come with a lifetime warranty, but they arent a very good gear set. I would have tried some yukons or P/G or motive.

Thats a pretty good price for all that to your door. that almost seems like employee pricing.

 

I got Yukon's... :)

i will too, check out my new post in the pics and vids

 

i got Genuine Gears.....why are they such a bad gear set? my brother has ran genuine gears in his '79 for years with no problems........i dont wheel my truck.....

 

dont get a notched crosspin, its not worth the weakness of the pin. just grind a small bit from the corner of a tooth or two on the ring gear so teh full crosspin can clear it. it in no way weakens the ring gear as the part that will you grind from in out of the contact pattern anyway if the gears are setup correctly.
