Yes there are a few companies that come up when you do a google search that claim to have the parts. Unfortunately when you call them they say they don't have them and will have to look into it and call you back. After they do call you back (if you are lucky) they tell you they can't get them (even though they have pricing and everything on their site for the parts)

Anybody else have any other leads.

M810 differential is not what the LMTV's have. The FMTVS use the RF611 axle. I wish they did however as the M810 has a far better selection of ring and pinion ratios.

The reason I posted the link to the m810 was the part number for the ring gear seem to be the same as the lmtv ... though it may be a source for cheaper used parts. I want to get the higher ratio gears and looking for options.

I spent an hour talking to Meritor tech support and that is the right part number, however he said that the vast majority of those diffs had the 3.70 ring and pinions. I did query him on the ratios less than 3.07.

Part numbers don't exist in their system. Meaning that the differential was designed to have those gears and a part number was assigned to them but no parts have been produced.

I have found a few sites claiming to have the right and pinion. Lowest I saw was $1700 per diff. So I didn't verify stock.

They likely do not and are just displaying Meritor's part information. Last I talked to Meritor, which was about 4 months ago, the R&P is a good part number with no stock and 3-6 months to have manufactured.

It would be nice if we could figure out what the merritor part numbers are for the 2.90 ratio if we need to get them manufactured and wait.

Maybe we should organize a group buy?

Do it! I would think we have enough people needing these to convince the business guys at Meritor to crank some of these out.

lol..... business guys at Meritor work with manufacture numbers of many many thousands.... even 50 may well just be laughable to them.... but one does not know for sure without trying

Hahaha, you're not wrong. Just let me dream of those sweet sweet gears

I used to work as a machinest. At first glance the gears look pretty standard. I think the pinion is the most compress to cut. I'll go to some cost estimates.
Anyone know what kind of steel they use? I'm guessing medium carbon or high carbon with additives for long wear with heat treatment.

there gears look might small...... but maybe you talked to them already?
here is one of several others listed for custom automotive ring and pinion gears that have heard mentioned in the 4x4 world pretty often https://www.usgear.com/
