Default Does anyone buy used ring and pinions?

I?ve only bought one set of used ring and pinions (a set of 5.38?s for my S10) and they whined. (previously setup incorrectly I suppose)

The reason I ask is because I want to swap out the 4.56?s out of my H2 and move up to something steeper (not sure how steep I can go... 5.38?s??)

I just (yesterday) received the 5.13?s for my wife?s Jeep I have to swap out and today my 4.56?s will be in for my Jeep.

By the time you buy the installation kit, gears and labor, I?ll have 1000-1200 per vehicle. I figured if I could sell my 4.56?s out of the H2, it would help offset the price of the new gears.

So, do people buy used gears or is that a no-no?

Thanks,

Mark
