Hard to find HO diff ratio?
I wish I had the money for these! Is this the ratio that is so hard to find?

Re: Hard to find HO diff ratio?
Is it my imagination or do those gears look a bit rough (pinion especially) for new, unused gears? Might just be the picture, or some protective coating....

Re: Hard to find HO diff ratio?
3.90 vs 4.10 is not much of an improvement. Same result can be obtained with 2" larger tires with the factory 4.10. Now a 3.50 would be something special.

With my 4.57 I wouldn't mind it.

Re: Hard to find HO diff ratio?
I agree with you. I have never seen a new gear set with a finish like that. It looks like graphite spray and the pinion gear does look pretty rough. I would be careful with that purchace and make sure you are getting what you pay for.

Re: Hard to find HO diff ratio?
i think its just the camera the label on the box looks a little wavey on the edge.

Re: Hard to find HO diff ratio?
Pretty cool to see,but basically worthless and absolutely non cost effective. That's a huge chunk of change for a ring and pinion and you only get .20 taller gears. If you have 4.56s,just buy a complete 4.10 rear for 1/2 that much (or less) and not go into rebuilding a differential that would likely end up running close to $1000. Just swap out the chunk and go.
