What Is Regearing?

Regearing is a process in which the gearing ratio of a vehicle is modified to improve its performance. Regearing is a popular modification that many car enthusiasts and off-roaders often make to their vehicles. It involves replacing the gears in the differential, transfer case, or transmission with new ones with a different ratio. Why would someone want to regear their vehicle? There are several reasons. One of the most common is to improve the vehicle's towing or off-road performance. For example, if you have a truck that struggles to tow heavy loads, regearing can make a significant difference. Similarly, if you have an off-road vehicle that can't handle steep inclines or rugged terrain, regearing can help.

When you change the size of your tires, it can throw off your gearing ratio and cause your vehicle to perform poorly. Regearing can hel ... read more

What Are the Different Parts That Make Up the Differential?

What Are the Different Parts That Make Up the Differential?

The differential is an essential component of your vehicle that helps to distribute power to the wheels. It allows the wheels to rotate at different speeds, which is necessary when turning corners. Differential parts play a critical role in the proper functioning of the differential, and it's important to understand the different types to keep your vehicle running smoothly. Here are some of the most common types of differential parts: Carrier: The carrier is the main housing that holds the differential gears, bearings, and shafts. It's responsible for transmitting power to the wheels and can be made of cast iron or aluminum. Ring and Pinion Gears: The ring and pinion gears are the primary components that transfer power from the driveshaft to the axles. They are responsible for converting the rotational energy of the driveshaft into the linear motion of the axles. Bearings: Bearings are used to support the rotating parts of t ... read more
