9 inch is in, but noisy Has anyone ever used summit racing gears? Thats what I used and I'm wondering if they are on the noisy side...
I did the install myself, and the pattern looked good, but there werent any numbers on the ring and pinion for Back lash and pinion depth, so I had to go off the pattern in the marking compound. Maybe I suck at it, I'm sure they are noisy atleast partly because of me, but wonder if the gears contribute.
I've definelty learned not to skimp on gears....
I'll bet its still 4 times as strong as the stock gears. (the pinion that came out of the center section which was a 3.50, wouldnt fit through the hole in the ring of the stock gears!!! DOH <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> )

Re: 9 inch is in, but noisy I thought all 9inches made noise. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Just trying to make you feel better about your install bro but seriously you really dont know what the cause is because you cant measure backlash or your pinion depth so maybe that is some of the problem as well.
