If you're diving into a ring and pinion gear change for your Oldsmobile or Pontiac, the Yukon Minimum Installation Kit is a solid choice that won't break the bank. I’ve used this kit on my own projects, and it’s a straightforward solution, especially if you’re looking to reuse your bearings. No need to shell out for a complete overhaul when you can get everything you need in one package.
This kit is designed to fit the 8.5" Oldsmobile differentials with 28 spline axles, which means it’s perfect for classics like the Oldsmobile 442 from '64 to '71 and the Cutlass from '68 to '72, as well as the Pontiac GTO from '70 to '71. It’s a nice fit for those who want to keep their ride authentic while still getting that performance boost.
What’s in the box? You get a pinion seal, a crush sleeve, and a complete shim kit. Plus, they throw in some marking compound and a brush, which is handy for checking your gear mesh pattern. It’s all high-quality stuff that makes setting up your differential a breeze. You won’t be fumbling around looking for missing parts or settling for subpar components.
When it comes to specifications, this kit supports any differential gear ratio you might want to run, and it’s classified as a regular grade type. So whether you’re cruising down the highway or tearing up the backroads, you can count on this kit to hold up.
In short, if you're looking to get your old beast back on the road with some fresh gears, the Yukon Minimum Installation Kit is a reliable and cost-effective way to do it. Trust me, you’ll appreciate the difference once you get everything dialed in.
