Need Help....Ring and Pinion Questions??
Need Help....Ring and Pinion Questions?? I have a 98 SS, I believe it has a 3:42 rear end.
I want to change to a 4:10 rear end.
What do I need to look for.....what is the ring gear size, and I think I read something about two different - thinner or thicker ring gears??
I just want to make sure I buy the right thing.
Thanks for any advice.

correct 7.50 and 7.62 both will work for you
"...something about two different - thinner or thicker ring gears??"
you need a thin ring, if your SS had came with a 2.73 gear in this case you would need a thick ring
I do not think any SS came with 2.73 gear ( series 2)

Brand does not indicate whether a gear set will whine or not. If set up properly it will be quiet no matter what the brand is. I have set up several richmond gear sets and never had a single one whine.
Originally I was going to try it myself, now I am leaning toward having a friend who has a shop do it for me.

The way a manufacture cuts the gears is huge. Factory is cut for no whine but some aftermarket gears are cut a little straighter for strength and will produce more whine,
What is the difference between a muncie M21/M20 and a M22 trans? M22 is much stronger and whines like a bitch! Inspect the gears and you will know what I am talking about.

Shelbyville? Used to live out that way. I don't agree totally with your statement. Yes you are correct saying a correctly set up gear according to the specs on the R/P will produce minimal whine but that is not the only factor.
