GM 10-Bolt ring and pinions are manufactured with the same gear cutting processes as the OE brands, utilizing a Face Hobbed or 2-Cut gear cutting style followed by lapping. Face hobbed gears can be easily distinguished by the equal gear height from heel to toe. Face hobbed gears produce lower noise and increase load carrying capacity compared to traditional face milled gears. Discover the unmatched benefits of upgrading your Ring and Pinion gear set and understand why it's an essential component in your vehicle.
