Drive Train Specialists out of Warren or Wayland? I'm thinking of having the one in Wayland do my ring and pinion set-up
Skip

 

DTS in warren is prolly the largest drivetrain retailer in the country, or atleast one of them.

Im getting some work done by them. the guys who do the work their and pretty good.

 

I had my ring and pinion installed there a few months ago. Very quick and very reasonable, I paid $225 for the install plus the installation kit. I supplied the gear, but wish I hadn't because they whine a little and I don't think there going to warrenty it because it wasn't there gear. It was installed while I waited.

 

I deal with them at least 4 times a week, they buy alot of the ring and pinions from me for the wayland store. Good guys, well recommended.

 

They are good gears and very strong teeth. If you look at a set of GM 373 gear teeth and a set of DTS 373 gear teeth it is like night and day. The DTS gear teeth are at least 3 times thicker at the top of the tooth. They make a little more noise than the GM gears tho. I was told the Warren store has the best techs. Also when ever you read about then in a car mag they are always writing about the Warren store doing the installs. Just my .02

 

how about someone who used to work at DTS that works out of his house, like me. i worked their for 6 years and now i set up gears at home and i am state cert. also. and i can save you some $ in the process, just ask around i,ve done alot of axles for members on these pages.

 

I've only heard good things about Scott(1bad86z), and much more reasonable in price. I was going to have him install the gears at first but the timing didn't work out. I will definately catch you next time!

 

Thanks for the help guys. I 'm going to go to the Wayland store because it's a LOT closer to me. I called them up yesterday an I'll have them do the install sometime after the first of the year.

You should talk to Scott he knows his stuff.

 

Cool! I might do gears before the spring...I'll keep you in mind!

While we are ont eh subject, what is the latest on who makes the best gears these days?

 

They are very professional, well priced and quick.

 

scott, i've been trying to get ahold of you to check my car out........i sent you a pm. let me know.

Jason talk to Scott because he would know best. I have had the DTS gears in my IROC for at least 8 years. You know my car and I run it hard at the track and never had a problem with them. I have at least 100 hard high 12 second runs on them. They do again make some noise but I installed them myself and am not a pro at it. Maybe Scott can install them and make it quieter.

 

i didn't get your message but just call me at 586-801-8046 asap. i'm interested in the brake package you have for sale.
and thanks guys for the plugs on axle rebuilds, i have done many this season and am looking forward to next season, i have purchased some specialitized tooling that will speed up the process of gear installs, and i cant waight to breakthem in.

just a reminder for all of the winter projects going on, if you need a gear change or an axle rebuild and are willing to take the axle out, then i can save you more money on labor. or if anyone is considering an axle swap to a 12 bolt or a ford 9" please call me i can save you a ton of cash. later scott.

 

i could definately use one of those setups scott; maybe we could work something out as i could pull the rear and give you the brakes for a little discount.

i'll give you a ring.
