O.K. What Now!!!!!!

[dvernst]

I just had all of the bearings and seals changed in the rear end. The guy who worked on it for me had it apart five times to try to shim it differently thinking that was the cause of the loud howling noise. nothing he did made it better. What else could it be?

Ring and pinion are tweaked.

Yes I was getting the same howling noise i'm getting now. It started out of nowwhere after I left the track, and was almost all the way home.

Do you think it is worth putting a new ring and pinion in it? After having the bearings and seals changed I already have a decent amount invested into it. I could of already had a whole new rear.

i would get somthing stronger if plan on racing it.i had 2 sets changed.

Does anyone know if a new ring and pinion are available anywhere with the 3.27 ratio. If not what's is the best axle to upgrade to, and with what ratio? Thanks

3:73 are available from multiple sources new.

Good used 3:27 can be had cheaply as well if you take your time and do your shopping.

If u dont know rears/gears take someone who does or take them to someone before u buy them.

9 bolt is a good rear, but it tends to get expensive in a hurry and moreso the less work u can do yourself.

Try 9bolt.com and diffsolutions. Also search under 9 bolt at thirdgen.org.
