I had two VERY BAD experiences with un-reputable service at Randy's shop
and would suggest to anyone to be extremely cautious or avoid Randy's
altogether. I'll spare the list of the details (unless someone really
wants to know) but in both situations his shop made mistakes and Randy
failed to honor his written warranty. If you are just buying parts from
Randy's, I'm sure you'll have a decent experience, but I would suggest
extreme caution in making sure that you get the proper parts the first time!
As for Yukon gears...I've never heard of them. Randy put some after-market
brand in my truck but I don't know what they were. When I replaced them
six months later I found the Dana/Spicer parts kit to be only a few $ more
expensive from a local vendor (It's been a while, but I recall that it was
less than $30 more for a complete kit of brand name gears, bearings,
etc.). I've also gotten good parts from Auburn and US gear. The Auburn
LSD in my brother's Ramcharger is excellent and was very reasonably priced!!!
Not trying to spoil anything, just be careful. Good luck and enjoy the
3.92's!!!
