Since Richmond is part of the Motive gear group you mite be amazed that lots of gear sets produced now no longer made in USA .. finding Europe is a big producer of gear sets now ... last I heard most Richmond sets are made in Italy with better quality / price than what american foundrys can do

that is true along with GM sets being made in Spain. Just bought 2 sets, one already installed,quiet as a mouse

If you buy a Richmond ring & pinion make sure you get the Pro Gear drag race version of the gearset. There is a version that is $50 cheaper than the Pro Gear Drag Series ring & pinion but it is a street/strip version. The drag series is more stout but, a bit more money.

Yukon.

I have a set of 6.0s in my S/S car. I've never had a set so quiet.

They offer them in a light weight version also.

Yukon has been sponsoring a few racers the last 2 seasons.

Great product.
