noob question... but what kind of paint or chalk do you use to mark the gear teeth to check the wear pattern? I skimmed through the richmond install guide but didnt see anything...

Will you do me a favor and post up your driving impressions when you get it back on the road? I'll be tackling a gear install this spring due to this poor setup from Strange:





Noisiest rear end I've EVER heard.

Looks like your carrier needs moved into the pinion .002-.003 I bet the backlash on that setup is crazy open causing it to whine like hell on deceleration.

It whines like hell on acceleration and deceleration.

We pay 600.00 for a 5 gallon bucket of the yellow marking compound. Just so you guys know why they give you so little in the install kits.
