I am planning on purchasing strange 3.42 #2 series gears and a master bearing install kit from gearsareus.com. I think this is a good deal for only 300 bucks. Am I crazy or is there a better cheaper way to go about getting new 3.42 gears??

 

the first thing you should ask yourself is do you really need strange gears. strange makes their gears top notch. i mean they handle 6-7 hp easily. pro drag racers use em. i mean unless you are making about 500+ rwhp i cant really see why you would need strange gears. unless you are building a completely bulletproof rear end you dont need strange gears. go with richmond or genuine gear.

 

I've got Strange gears for the 2 series carrier. The price wasn't much different form any other brand and they're not that noisy. From my experience with them, I'd say go for it.

 

i'm in the process of putting mine in, and i've heard nothing but good things about them.

 

Personally I think Strange (US Gear) makes some of the best gears out there. I had a set of 3.73 in my 93 and never had a problem with whine.
