He used to be a prince,and he is worth millions, and if you send him 5 grand, he will use it to free up his fortune, and will give you 100 grand, and an aluminum ring gear in return for your help! Send your money now!
Testing has shown aluminum rings gear durability is improved by using pine pinion gears, there was testing with oak & cedar but they cause excessive premature wear.... When matched with a pine pinion gear technicians were able to travel upwards of three miles before the ring gear failed....Well there was one premature failure but it was due to a stone in the path of the vehicle... It appears driving over the stone overstressed the ring gear...
