Precision Gear Set. The Richmond 8.5-Inch and 8.6-Inch Rear Axle Ring and Pinion Gear Kit; 4.56 Gear Ratio is designed to replace and upgrade the differential ring and pinion gears within GM 10 bolt 8.5" and 8.625" axle housings. This gear set changes the final drive ratio to 4.56, enhancing torque delivery and overall vehicle performance. It ensures the differential functions smoothly and evenly distributes power to the wheels, improving traction and drivability.
Construction and Appearance. Manufactured from high-strength 8620 steel, the ring gear provides durability and resistance to wear. The precision-machined pinion features 9 teeth on a 1.626-inch diameter shaft with 30 splines for secure fitment. The gears have a standard rotation design and are crafted to exacting specifications for reliable performance and longevity.
Installation. Installation requires mechanical skill but does not typically demand drilling or modification to the axle housing. It is designed to fit front or rear positions on GM 10 bolt axles with a differential carrier ratio of 2.73 or higher, and proper installation tools and knowledge of gear setup are essential for correct backlash and contact pattern adjustment.
Warranty. This gear set is backed by a 2-year or 100,000-mile warranty, providing coverage against defects and peace of mind.
Application. Fits 07-13 Yukon with GM 8.5" or 8.625" 10 bolt rear axles requiring a 4.56 gear ratio.
