Review on πŸ”§ USA Standard Gear (ZK GM8.6) Complete Overhaul Kit for GM 8.6 Differential by Christopher Pfaffe

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good quality parts but I need more marker paste

This company must think the gear marker paste is gold. The photo shows a large tube filled with it. Mine was half the size and 1/4 full. I was only able to mark 3 teeth on 3 different attempts to install the gears. I ran out so had to order more which was a few days behind me. That amount might be acceptable for those who switch daily, but for those of us who only do it occasionally, and especially to start over with no reference stacks of pads to get away from, there's woefully little material. The bearings are Koyo brand, the Japanese equivalent of Timken. Good quality tips. Overall a good set for the money. I only deducted 2 stars due to the lack of a marker compound that may solve the problem if someone needs to do it ASAP.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
