Dana comes factory and I see that their gears are significantly more expensive. Is their reasoning better quality, closer tolerances....just trying to justify on them.

There is no reason only but because they say Dana on them. Some of the Lesser quality gears like us a standard have fewer refining processes as opposed to others. That's why they're cheaper. If you're looking for gears you need to look at either Yukon gears or Revolution gears. These are the best two out there in my opinion. I have personal experience with the Yukon gears and their warranty (Y.E.S. plan) is outstanding and I have utilized it!

Idk if having to use a warranty on gears would classify them as the best out there. Typical I try to avoid issues with gears being that they aren’t easy to repair.

I don't disagree with you as a whole... however there were extenuating circumstances to my replacement of the rear gear set. The front is still 100% good to go. It wasn't the gear set that caused the failure...rather a pinion nut which caused the gears and bearings to fail.

I probably should have specified that in the first post... that is kinda some important information I left out. LoL

I currently have Yukon in my 2Dr and havent ran into any issues with them, was just looking around the web since I am about to start a new build and came across them and trying to figure out what its $600 for a set!!!! I will probably be going with Yukon since I havent had any issues after 5 years. Thats even after I snapped a 1310 drive shaft (all U joints) in the rear and the gears were perfectly fine.

Yes they are good gears in my opinion. It sounds like you had excellent luck as well. I corrected my post above yours... My pinion nut was why my gear set failed and the bearings failed. Not the gear set itself.
