I am curious, my front wheels do not move when stuck in sand. Is this because of the 2 pinion?
Also, checked the part number for the later models and it’s the same for 98-07.
I bet it's just a superceded part...they don't sell you the 2-pinion version at all anymore.If your center diff is not locked and the rear wheels are both spinning then the fronts wouldn't move much. Lock the center and at least one of those front wheels should be spinning
As far as the part number maybe that's because those pinion gears and shaft are the same part, but they changed the spider shaft carrier (whatever it's called) to carry another shaft and added 2 more gears?

Thanks…… but better than 2. AwesomeYes, the Eaton replaces the pinions in the carrier. It's not strengthening or protection so much as it's removing the OEM parts that are prone to breakage.
