calling gear experts, pattern check

[nm4x4]

I need a second opinion on my gear pattern check. All information and help greatly appreciated! This is my first install, my backlash is .007 and pinion preload is perfect. I also had help creating drag on the ring gear when I did the pattern check.

Thanks,
Jake

I thought it was good but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask!

Thanks,

pm Readymix and have him look at it

It would be easier to tell with it in the axle .But It look's decent. What is your BL? What axle?

It is a 10B rear, and my backlash is at .007. I removed the carrier so I can put my new pinion bearings on.

Thanks,
Jake

dead on balls accurate!

That is perfect, but its SEX with a condom. Check it again in the axle assy before you "button-up". 10Bs seem to be sort-of picky with side preload; make sure its tight and the caps are at full torque, before you check mustard again.

Thanks guys,
I did check it again after it was all tegether with the new pinion bearings and it was the same. I took some pictures but they were a little fuzzy because it was underneath the burb. I already did the 20 mile break-in drive so far so good. This site kicks a$$. I cannot beleive the difference from 32's with 3.42 to 4.11's!!

P.S. thanks to CCOR, they are an awsome vendor

Thanks again to everone!

Good job on your first install.

Thanks,
It was just getting the balls to do it! If I can rebuild a jet engine, I should be able to do gears. I use all the same tools in the Air Force on a daily basis. Now I just have to do the front , I'll wait until I get 500 miles in the rear.
