If you’re serious about your ride, you’ve probably heard of Motive Gear. They’re known for crafting some of the toughest drivetrain components out there. I’ve had the chance to run their stuff, and let me tell you, these guys don’t mess around. Whether you’re hitting the trails or tearing it up on the track, they’ve got a massive lineup of performance ring and pinion gear options that cater to just about any application you can think of. Their gear sets come in a variety of ratios, which means you can dial in your setup for both on-road cruising and off-road adventures.
What really sets Motive Gear apart is their commitment to quality. You’ll find their products in the winner’s circle at racing events all over the globe. That’s not just marketing fluff; it’s a testament to years of racing development and top-notch design. Each component goes through rigorous testing by in-house engineers, so you know you’re getting something that’s been put through its paces.
Now, let’s talk specifics. This particular Differential Ring and Pinion is designed for Dana 44 setups, sporting a 4.09 gear ratio. It’s built with 8620 steel, which is known for its durability, and features a ring gear diameter of 8.5 inches. You’ll find 45 teeth on the ring gear and 11 on the pinion, with a pinion shaft diameter of 1.376 inches. It’s dual-drilled for both 3/8" and 7/16" ring gear bolts, making installation a bit easier if you’re working on your own.
This setup is specifically for Dana 44; it requires a carrier for ratios of 3.92 and higher. It’s also dual-drilled, so you can choose between 3/8" and 7/16" ring gear bolts.
