More Rear Torque. As you complete your build, you'll need a quality rear ring gear and pinion set, such as EXCEL from Richmond 8.5 in. & 8.6 in. Rear Ring Gear and Pinion Kit - 3.42 Gears. This gear set with 3.42 ratio offers the opportunity for performance improvements, whether your Sierra 1500 is a daily driver, high-performance rig, or a combination of the two. If you can get more rear wheel torque and quicker engine acceleration, why wouldn't you?
3.42 Gear Ratio. Drive confidently knowing this EXCEL from Richmond Gear and Pinion Set keeps your rig at top performance. Perhaps best of all, achieving a quicker acceleration is possible without fuel economy going down the drain.
Strong Construction. Richmond Gear crafts a strong 10-bolt Rear Ring and Pinion Set. It is formed from high quality 8620 steel and undergoes a heat treatment process for superior durability. This set features ring gear diameters of 8.5 in. and 8.625 in. to accommodate your rig's rear axle size.
Take it to a Pro. This rear upgrade is not ideal for someone with little to no previous knowledge of differentials. The complexity of the installation means it is best left to the professionals (mechanic or service provider). Swapping out the OE set for this EXCEL pair takes about 4 hours.
