Where to find 12 bolt ring & Pinion and which brand? Just looking for some info on where to buy some new gears for my Strange 12 bolt rear (Besides Strange). Looking for 3.73's for a 4 series carrier. Any sponsers carry these? What brand is best to go with?

Thanks Scott!
I should give you a call in the next couple days. My 4.10's aren't quite either
. I think they were set up kinda tight or something cause they are quite till about 75mph when they start to howl..

I just changed the oil after 400 total miles on the rear, there was a decent amount of metel shavings stuck to the magnet and in the oil. I put back in the recomended type and viscosity. Strange recomended 2 quarts plus a bottle of aditive.
I noticed there are zert fittings on the outside axle tubes, do these need to be greased periodically to?

Ok, I'll pump another 1/2 quart in there and see.
I hope those bearings come pre-lubed from Strange then. How do you know when there is enough grease in there? Just use wheel bearing type grease?
Thanks for your help BTW

Yes they are pregreased but you may want to add some. Any bearing grease will work, I use the red synthetic just because it is water proof.

Great, Thanks Steve! I to use the redline synthetic grease.
BTW, I'm still working on figuring out what gear ratio to use, I'll let you know.
