D44 Thick Gear

[turbotim2]

Has anyone tried the D44 thick gears now available so that you can run 3.92 and up gears on the 3.73 and lower carrier?

 

[Devin]

I have helped install some 4.56's on the lower carrier. Worked out fine.

I am not sure how long those have been available, have those that you have installed got some miles on them now?

 

[Devin]

Yes, they do have some miles on them. No problems to date.

I also have had no problems with running the thick gear sets. Been doing so for a while now..

I'm running the 4.88 yukon thick gears on my ARB. I've had them in 2 different axle housings. They've been in there since 2004 without issue. The first shop that installed them said they had seen some problems with the yukons when they first came out but my set installed just fine. When they were installed in the next axle 3 years later the shop said they were just fine.
They are still in there.
