Dumb question about take off gears...

Yeah, I kinda set myself up, but here it goes...

Do take-off stock diff gears have any value beyond scrap/salvage?

Nitro 4.88s are installed and I need to clean some crap out of the garage.

 

Sure do. Perhaps you could sell them eventually. Someone will need/want a set. Otherwise if you ever decide to swap yours or if you damage the new gears and need a quick fix that doesn’t cost as much as, just to get your truck on the road, you’ll have the stock ring and pinion.

 

They take up next to no room. Store them for later. In fact, if you don’t want them, give them to me. I’ll store them for you.

 

Shit I’m interested. Shoot me a PM if you want.

OR has the larger diff right? Even if it’s an automatic? I can never remember anymore.

 

Not really worth anything. You might get something on eBay if you mark them cheap.

I have rings and pinions from various vehicles and no one wants them.

 

OR is 8.75 IIRC

 

I’m wondering if my lady would let a set sit on an entertainment center shelf. They are really nice pieces of machined steel.

 

Maybe a few bucks but really best if you know the backlash when you took them out.

 

Dude! Awesome idea. Industrial art. I’m doing it!!

 

I've seen mailboxes made out of them, but Ozark is strong as Bros

 

I turned a 8.5 10 bolt chevy ring gear, a cam from a ford 302, a wheel bearing from a volvo, and a shop vac filter into a lamp. It doubles as a home defense weapon.

 

Yeah I got the same one. SR though.
