Default Is the pinion depth marked on Yukon gears??

I'm regearing my JK and having a local Jeep dealer tech do it. He's done multiple JKs and works on them every day, so I'm sure I'm in good hands there.

When I asked him what gears he prefers this was his response:

"Richmond gear, us gear or motive gear. They need to have pinion depth marked on the new gear or I will not install it"

In my research I see lot of people using Motive, Yukon, and Superior, and I've read that they are pretty much all the same, made in Korea in the same factories, yada yada yada.

So just to confirm, do Yukon gears, and even Superior for that matter, have the pinion depth marked on the new gears??

Thanks!
Clay

Done plenty of gears over the last 30 years and have never seen a set that hasn't been marked.

That's pretty much what I figured.

Thank you!

well I just called Yukon to be 100% sure and they just told me that their gears DO NOT have the pinion depth marked. :(
