Does anyone still offer pro gears for the 8 3/4?
Is cryo and rem finishing worth the effort? Who does cryo and rem finishing on ring and pinions? Suggestions please |

Earp Machinery Safford Az. does both. I won't run any oem part before I have it at least cryoed.

On the same note what is the prefered brand of 8 3/4 gear if a pro gear is not available or does it matter by the time you have it cryoed and rem polished or micro blued?

Strange sells gears that are already REM finished.

What Ratio are you looking for? I have a complete rear axle 8 3/4 with a 5.13 with all the things done to it. And I have a few other things. Jeff 985-804-6161 or PM me.

I have seen the Pro gears for the 4.86 ratio only on Ebay but they want 6 or 7 hundred bucks for them. I don't think they make them anymore in any ratio for the 8.75 Chrysler rear. Jim

Not a 8 3/4, but I have been running the Redline Heavy Shockproof oil in my low 10 high 9 second bracket car, in a Dana 60 with Pro gears and a 4 speed. Also used it for years in my 85 Mustang stickshift Stocker with a 8.8 rearend and street gears. Very happy with the Redline, but don`t spill it! it will soak into rough concrete and hang around for years, even with pressure washing.

Go Dana 60 and forget about the 8.75. The Dana is faster. I have used mine since 1991 and change oil in it every two years, same pro gear all of these years. Going on 26 years of worry free service, cheapest thing I ever bought for the race car
