A Nitro gear change will help get that performance and economy back!

If you've fitted larger tires or extra weight to your vehicle then you are likely experiencing a loss in performance, fuel economy, and more constant transmission gear “hunting." This is because the larger tires reduce your engine's RPMs below the optimal power band. Re-gearing the differentials in your vehicle is the only way to get your vehicle back into its optimal operating RPM range, thus improving performance and reducing strain on your vehicle's drivetrain. This is especially important for today's vehicles as they feature tall factory gearing and overdrive transmissions which are less tolerant to increase in tire size or the weight of added accessories.

It's a common misconception that gear changes are reserved only to hardcore off-roaders or trucks with huge tires. However, re-gearing is one of the single most beneficial modifications you can make to keep the performance, economy, and durability of your daily-driven 4x4. This is a mod for anyone with larger tires, increased weight, or for increased performance on stock vehicles for towing or increased acceleration.

Friction is a killer to your moving parts. Our Para-Synthetic Plus is engineered to reduce friction with superior lubrication. Studies show it reduces your operating temperatures by up to 35%* and reducing wear as much as 25%*. Less friction means better fuel economy. There's nothing like it that will add miles to the adventure.

*Individual results may vary.

Tech note:
Jeeps, & 1/2 ton trucks/suv will require 2-3 qts for each differential whereas 3/4 ton and larger truck and SUV will typically require 3-4 qts per differential. Please check with your owner's manual to ensure proper amount of gear oil in your differential and follow manufacturer break-in procedures that usually require at least 4-6 quarts.
