This two-cut design also allows for easier set-up for aftermarket replacement. “The combination of materials, heat treating and gear geometry allows for a gear set that has 10 times the life of some non-OE gear sets,” said Greg Marsh, AAM engineering manager. “The strength of our materials, the elimination of noise, and the ease of installation add up to a superior gear set for the aftermarket.” Marsh says one of the advantages of AAM gear sets is saving technicians’ AAM offers customers bearing or master install kits that come with the necessary components to complete the installation. The bearing kits contain all four differential bearings. The master install kits include the remainder of the components needed such as ring gear bolts, hub bolts, hub and cover pan gaskets. AAM also offers additional components for the new rear 4.56 gear set such as an aluminum cover to reduce temperatures in high horsepower applications and front 4.56 9.25” gears sets for four-wheel-drive vehicles. When technicians install the 4.56 gear set, Marsh recommends they replace all of the parts necessary including the bearings using AAM kits #74067011 (bearing kit Ram ’03-’13, GM ’01-‘10) If the 4.56 gear set is being installed in conjunction with a lift kit, many customers like upgrading their cover pan to a stylish aluminum cover that also reduces temperatures in high horsepower applications (available as #74030017). If the 4.56 gear set is being installed in a 4WD vehicle, the corresponding front 4.56 9.25” gear sets are #40024878 (GM mounting distance) and #40022464 (RAM mounting distance). AAM parts are the same OEM production parts many shops have come to demand when installing replacement parts. AAM parts fit right, install right and perform right the first time.
