The day after Thanksgiving I pulled a 1.9 60' at HRP...that was all she wrote.

The idiots at Cutting Edge Customs used a carrier shim from a 98 and down 10 bolt - they have smaller carrier bearings and shims. Well that shim ended up inside the axle tube, allowing the carrier to shift side to side which caused the ring gear to strip. It was more than obvious what caused the gear set to fail.

 

haha man, that is one messed up ring gear, by the way, you gunna want a hand on sat for the tranny swap?

 

yep that would make the list of "That Sucks"

 

Preston is supposed to come down...this time I rented a tranny jack...you remember the last time we tried to stab a tranny
