Installed the Yukon 4.11 gears in my ’03 Suburban. The truck feels stronger off the line and pulls my trailer with ease. Smooth and quiet operation too.

Put these gears in my Silverado 1500. The 4.11 ratio gives me all the torque I need for towing and off-road trips. Yukon nailed it—solid and dependable.
