He bought what are supposed to be Ford Motorsport OEM gears from Randy's Ring and Pinion. I was looking at the gearset last night and noticed that they lack matching numbers and also, there are no depth markings on the pinion. Is this typical of Ford OEM gears? I tried calling Randy' Ring and Pinion this morning but they're closed or weekends. Just wanna be sure I got good parts before I start the job. Superdawg are you there?

BJ <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Yeah would be nice to have the pinion depth markings there so I could have a shim pack starting point closer than just using the old shim pack. Especially since the 8.8 has it's pinion depth shims under the bearing cone instead of under the bearing cup like a Dana or AMC. So to adjust the pinion depth you gotta have access to a press and bearing splitter to remove the bearing cone and add/remove shims under it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Moderated by  4x4Wire  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
