well i wanted to set theses up good since the last ones screamed like a **** before they blew,

the drive side is almost perfectly centered wear pattern with a slight bias to the heel and the coast side is the same but just slightly bias to the toe side, just like the picture on the paperwork recomended. i also baked and froze the gears and then baked the pinion bearing while freezing the ring gear so that install would easier. i also finally put on my solid pinion spacer, preload feels perfect and i set the lash on the new gears at 4-5. i think i must have pulled it appart 20 times before i got it right but after a heat cycle and a short test drive they make no noise so far, which my others did instantly. i almsot dont wanna launch on them now.

my how nice a properly set up gear is.

Congrats on a job well done.

What brand gears did you use and what size pinion shim did you end up using?


Thanks

well they sent me a set of motive gears from strange so i figured ill give them a shot. wound up with 3 shimms on the pinion gear for depth and 3 shims on the solid pinion spacer to achieve proper preload.
