Gear Pattern advice
Im in the process of regearing my truck to 4.88 ratio.
Im working on the front 8.25 and wanted to post pics of my gear pattern. Backlash set at 9 pinion shim .025 im thinking the pinion is alittle to deep https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.per...a91006873.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.per...fddfcf3ae.jpeg |
What was the original Shim on the factory set up?
I feel like you need to go deeper to center it up and possibly tighten the back lash a little. |
the original shim was .025 which is what this pattern was made with.
The coast side seems deep to me and the drive side seems good the backlash is set a .009 |
|
There usa standard gear
Pattern falls into pinion too deep category im going to decrease the pinion shim to .020 and tighten backlash a little will post pics of new pattern |
These are a little tight back off to .020 or even .015 to get your coast from being too deep.

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.per...171ec18a3.jpeg pinion shim .020 backlash .008 I think this pattern looks like a good competition pattern im probably going to run it unless one of you guys see something i dont Looks good to me let me know if i should run it with this pattern |
give it a try try and see how it goes, I am a feel type person where I can tell by checking pattern and rotating forward and back to see how everything is meshing. I am doing this daily so it is hard to explain on type.
