You need to grind off that rough spot. I'd use an angle grinder if it will get to it without hitting anything else. Just smooth it out. Then the gear will be fine. If that's a 9" Ford, find a factory shop manual and follow it to the letter. Don't try to cut corners with the pinion and carrier preload instructions.

I'd run it after it was smoothed out.. That edge won't contact the ring if set up properly.

Me personally I would not use it. It may never cause an issue but for the cost of a ring and pinion and what is involved with having to replace it if it does wouldn't be worth it to me.

thanks Jason i think i'm gonna have to agree with you, especially in the 4 digit power range.

thanks also to big al and hollo for your imput. midwest chassis is who will be setting up the 3rd member again with the new gears and if they don't recommend risking it, i'm not going to. as said, they aren't that much to begin with but thought i'd save a few bucks......til UPS screwed that idea!

Sucks you had this issue after we discussed it and I mentioned getting it since it saved you some money but like I said if it was my own personal car I wouldn't put it in even with the money you saved.

yea i appreciate your input from the beginning about it working with my setup and all and now to this point! you never pushed me towards making a sale vs saving $100 or so and that's awesome! you guys continue to have hands down the best customer service and love that you never rush me off the phone, even with dumb questions! lol

Thanks and i'm sure i'll be talking to you guys soon enough about a few things i'll be needing to get the new found power to the pavement as you helped me do with the old setup!
