Ebay Gear + Posi

Has anyone had experience with this package? I'm shopping around and this seems like a pretty good deal:

Re: Ebay Gear + Posi

I would be worried about the quality of the ring and pinion. You don't want the rear end to howl after spending that kind of money.

Re: Ebay Gear + Posi

I'm also interested, doesn't say where it's made so I think I'd try to find that out

Re: Ebay Gear + Posi

I've asked him about a kit for a 8.5" 10 bolt and he had Yukon (made in USA) gears and Timken bearings.

Nice guy--I have his number somewhere if you need it but he will answer your questions thru Ebay quickly.

Re: Ebay Gear + Posi

if you are planing on havin a shop setup the rearend you may be better off getting parts from them rather than bringing your own parts in to have them installed

Re: Ebay Gear + Posi

I just bought this same setup from the same guy, great stuff!
Eaton posi & 3.73

I just got finished re building my rearend with all the parts & it is running great!
I got about 100 miles on it so far,
When I ordered my setup I call him, and had him send me an extra pinion bearing and a solid pinion bearing spacer.

The bearing are great and the kit comes with a set of super shims.

Very pleased!

If you want ant pictures or more info please feel free to hit me up and I will post up anything I can to help

Re: Ebay Gear + Posi

If it's not a refurbed Eaton, and it comes with Timken bearings... thats a decent deal. I've used Standard Gear gearsets in the past and the whine/howl a little too much for my liking. Richmond all the way fro me as far as gearsets go.
