Thanks, I have feeling this 3.70 is really going to render this thing useless on the street or anywhere else for that matter, but we'll see.

Wanted to go, but HRPT took priority as it was going to be a display car for a transportation sponsor IF it got finished. Intake and tbody build delays killed both of those so M&G is out by default .....planning on Camarofest though

We(and everyone else) are out of the Yukon gears at this point. We are currently using the Motive Performance gears and have had good results from them as well. We will be offering the Yukon gears again as soon as they are available to us. We have a huge stocking order coming.

We have had really good luck with Motive gears. Yukon gear sets are nice for that guy looking to save any weight were ever possible though since they are lightened from the factory.

There is no combination that we can not put together as far as ring and pinions, axles, cases, or even housing options. We strive on being able to offer what ever you want and not limit you to just one manufactures product line.

Just jumped in line myself, the 10 bolt posi unit finally went. Time to step up my game.

I have Motive gears in my 10 bolt and they are very quite, probably have 30k miles on them too. You never heard the whine unless you had your head in the back and my rear seats are deleted.

Thanks everyone for the orders, you guys have been great and been keeping us busy for sure. I also want to thank our customers for keeping this thread active and taking the time on your own to post up pictures for everyone to see.

I will see if I can find any more pictures as well.

Here is one from a customer but it isn't a picture of it installed. The black and red combination that has been popular this year looks really nice under certain vehicles.



He have probably done 20 this year with the combination's being mixed between red and black one way or the other. Silver and black would also be another neat combination under the right vehicle and has yet to be done.
