Where to get replacement differential gears?

Well, I was planning to change out my stock differential gears from the 5.87 to the 4.56 gears (I think this is the ratio that's still available).

But...Reider Racing has gone bankrupt and is out of business (phone on their site now redirects to 4x4.com who told me they couldn't help me).

Does anyone know what part number I'm looking for or any place that would know what gears I'll need?

Thanks in advance.

Google Randy's Ring & Pinon

I heard the 4.56's are geting scarce as well...

Partsmike.com I just bought some 4.56 for the rear D70 from him.

Mikel: how much did they run?

Some time ago I've read, the front is just a dana 60 4.56 ring and pinion
the rear is a dana 70 1/2 offset ring a pinion... make sure you get the half
inch off set ones otherwise they won't fit.

part numbers for randys ring and pinion.
YG D60-456 $282.09 (front)

DS 706997-2 $416.05
Dana 70 4.56 1/2 Ring & Pinion KIT (rear)

Try a search with the numbers on randys website to get the right stuff
front: http://www.ringpinion.com/Search_Res...ase=YG+D60-456

rear: http://www.ringpinion.com/Search_Res...se=DS+706997-2

Not cheap...

I think it was $285-300 from Parts Mike. If you order, remind him about the pinion offset (0.5?)

Thank Mikel and N2S3!

You are welcome. I think the price I posted was for just the gears.

I found Partsmike's email (I was buying two sets):


M715 D70: $376.00 X 2 =$762.00 this includes the ring and pinion, bearings, shims, seals and nut/washer. - 4.56 gear set

Thanks guys! :) I appreciate the help in finding these for us. I've calculated this into the budget for the next couple of months, so hopefully by July I'll be running 4.56 gears front and rear :D

Mikel bought two sets (for 2 trucks, I assume). Front axle is D60, you know that of course. A set for D60 is needed for the front, 4.56 also. His source will offer that as Randy does...

OK, crystal clear that you need two sets...
