i have YUKON 5.29 gears in my truck and there awesome i can do anything i want and they just keep going. i haven't had any problems with them so far. lets keep it that way. but YUKON'S are strong and dependable.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT GET GENUINE GEARS FROM 4 WHEEL PARTS!!!!!!!

ther are cheaply made and will brake in no time at all, spend a little more to get a quality product. so you dont have to spend even more money getting two sets of gears and having them both installed.

You guys crack me up about the Genuine gears! How many of you have actually run them and broke them . Most of the people who post that they suck have never run them. Most likely you are web wheelers and you saw that a friend of a friend broke a set and now you post it here:cuss: I have run Genuine's and I would recommend them. 5.71's at that:Thumbsup:

I never said i ran them nor did i say they suck, i just mentioned they have a lifetime gaurentee. Im just joking with ya rockcrawlintoy, but if i ever do come down, you will be the first to know, maybe show me some trails down there

The brand issue has been addressed above :rolleyes: , so I'll answer the 1st part of your question.

Yes, it is MUCH cheaper if you pull the 3rds and carry them in.

Here are some average figures:

Labor - $65-75/hr x 2-3 hr x 2 diffs.
R&P - $200 x 2
Master bearing/install kit - $100 x 2

approx $860 - 1050 depending on labor $

I've ran them for years with no issues. ;) You may want to do a search, the gear thing was recently discussed in another thread.

Yeah, I think there is a lot of truth to that. All I have ever known anybody to break is 4.88's for some reason.....
