Local Legend Project G4 AKA Quasi-Ghetto

Yea... I heard the Yukons suck from local shop too. Everyone says use motive. I will try and destroy these and then build it with motives. Or maybe I will just buy the motives now and swap it out before things get really bad.

I was just running cheapo STP 85-140 this time. The first set was expensive 250W. I've never had a problem running el-cheapo oil in the gears @Raceranger97 set up for me!! LOL

I tried to break these in with a ton of short heat cycles. They have always been semi quiet up to like 50, even under load... but if you stayed on it up to high speed they always made a kind of higher pitched whine on high load high speed.... and always loud as fuck on coast over 50mph.

It all just seems louder now after Terra Crew?? I dunno. Maybe I just forgot. Either way, I know it isnt good like all the other trucks... and I want to fix it at some point.
 
Yup ditch Yukon, go motive and go. I ran cheaper 85-140 for the first few weeks. then I drained it and filled with maxxima, and put the cheapo in my front diff since I don't use 4x4 much so it'll be fine for that.

If you switch to Motive now you can maybe sell the Yukon for dirt cheap saying they made a little noise because the setup wasn't right and some sucked might not know anything and would buy them or trade you for your favorite wobble pops for them.

Ya you shouldn't be getting any noise out of a good gear set. If I recall the pattern looked good, I'd blame it on a cheapo gear and/or gear oil.
 
i couldnt live with selling these to someone. I just noticed there seems to be a crack on one toof as well. You can see it here below. Now I am really questioning running it any longer.

F890-XXX is the prefix you want for Motive Gear. They have a street "series" and a "Performance" series. That first link is just the street oem style replacements. I can drop ship you a set of F890543 for $299 + Tax/shipping if your interested.
 
^^Shit, I woulda done that if I didn't buy some earlier from QuickPerformance (on ebay)

Not sure if I trust QP. lol. They were cheapest I could find at $245.
 
Bull run alert — the time for crypto growth is now!
Why wait? Get a solana ecosystem through Jupiter — it's a phantom wallet, and yes, no passport needed thanks to route optimizer.
