Looking at getting trac lock and changing gear ratio to 3.89:1. Anybody have info on Yukon Gear?

 

AFAIK from the Jeep boards, Yukon products are a mixed bag. Some have received repackaged products from Dana and others. I believe others have stated that they were manufactured offshore FWIW. The bottom line is that they sell lower priced drivetrain products which leads to the question how do they do that.

For my money and time, I wouldn't cheap out on anything inside the third member as the labor costs are likely to make any savings be insignificant if you have any problems. If you're reputable shop is installing Yukon and they are going to stand by the install if there is a problem then I wouldn't be as concerned.

FWIW, I've seen plenty of instances on the Jeep boards where people have sourced their own gears and lockers at the cheapest prices and then brought them to their mechanic for installation. When problems occurred, the customer often had to play middle man between the installer and the manufacturer. I always recommend getting the parts through the installer and letting those two hammer out the details on warranty work.

Good luck!

 

My mechanic recommended them. He said he has used them before with good luck, and he would be installing them. I had never heard of them before. Thanks for your input.
