Tech Note 1: Product Note
QU30169U Gear Set has 45 teeth on the ring gear and 11 teeth on the pinion gear. It is a matched, standard cut gear set that fits most Dana 44 axles that have the pinion gear located below the axle center line. The pinion shaft is the 26 spline configuration used on Dana 44 gear sets since the mid 1960s.

Tech Note 2: USED Set
These are USED ring and pinion sets. The teeth on both gears look good but since there are so many installation and use variables, we make no warranty as to durability or noise once they are installed!

Tech Note 3: Gear Ratios
If you are doing a gear ratio change, you will also need to change your differential case (the part the ring gear bolts to) if your current ratio is 3.73 or faster. Faster gear ratios have a larger diameter pinion gear than slow ratios so they require a differential case with a different offset. For the Dana 44 axles that can use this gear set, the differential cases are different for 3.73 and numerically lower and 3.92 and numerically higher ratios.

Tech Note 4: Ring Gear Bolts
Ring Gear Bolts are designed to be used once and only once. Order 10 QU40209 ring gear bolts along with this gear set.

Tech Note 5: Pinion Preload
Pinion preload is set using shims on 1993 and older axles. 1994-1997 Dodge uses QU40208 crush sleeve.
