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....

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.

That's what I thought too, but maybe it's just a bad cell phone picture?

Still, pretty rare to see a set...

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?

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.
