Just got my 4.10's......


Dared to be different and went with Summit Racing gears... they are fairly new but they look solid as hell and I have faith in Summit, they are a great company.

Hopefully I can get them installed soon, just need a full bearing set, pinion seal, and trak-lok rebuild kit.

Not sure about heat treated.

Its reccomended to drive 15-20mi., let axle cool and take it easy for the first 500mi.

I just had my 4:10's installed last Friday. I asked them If I needed to break them in. The mechanic said he drove it around for about 8 miles and that I should take it easy for a bit. I forgot what he said after my first red light...lol. I been ripping on it since

it's not required, but if someone asked me I'd suggest it on non heat treated gears. What ever floats ur boat

My take on it, alot of people go with FRPP gears and beat on them out of the box.

These arent FRPP and I rather take it easy the first few miles, let them cool once and then just drive like normal with the occasional beating like my normal habits.

definitely take it easy, ive had my gears done twice and the exact same whine has come back again, from about 35 mph in 4th gear onward.
