I am really impressed by how fast the shipping is. I ordered on Tuesday with the free shipping and the delivery date is Thursday. That's really good for a 55 pound box from Tennessee to Texas.

Will I have to have my computer reprogrammed after the gear swap?

Thanks!

Ron - with AAM not being available in 4.30, what would be your top recommendation out of Motive, Yukon, and USA Standard for a 4.30?

Also, what are your views about gear break-in periods?

Thanks!

Best is probably the detroit locker but 2nd best and most affordable would most likely be the detroit truetrac.

Hi, well, all three gears are made of the same 8620 steel, so strength will be the same. For the most part the Yukon's are the quietest running gears besides AAM. The break-in procedure is very important. The main thing is not to build to much heat into the gears. The first 500 miles should consist of short trips with a cool down period every 15-25 miles. You should not tow anything for the first 500 miles. The oil should also be changed after the 500 mile break-in period.

Thanks, Ron
