    8 3/4 Issues

    i handed him the parts. He just put it together. He gave me a deal since he made me wait a couple weeks (and I send business his way). I was in no hurry.

    8 3/4 Issues

    If you don't have the tools (pinion depth/dial indicator), just have a shop do it. Guy did my Dana 44 for 65 bucks. Money well spent.

    Favorite gear ratio for street car

    For a street car with 27" tires that sees highway use, I'd look at 3:55s. Could probably live with 3:91s.

    Gen III tranny options?

    Rob, while I love you like brother... I'd rather you not be offering up my tranny to every guy with torque concerns.. Trannys are quite expensive you know and this one's already slipping.. I think I overheated it a couple times..

    What rear ends are compatible with 73 Dart Custom

    Most any A body rear will swap. watch for proper bolt pattern so you don't have to change wheels. And if you may need a different length driveshaft and shock plates and U bolts.. All depends on what you have now and what you find.

    E body to A body rear end swap

    If you manage to figure out a wheel/tire combo with the right backspace to make it work, you're golden. I hope you don't like the deep dish wheel look...

    How hard is it to change ratios in an 8-3/4"?

    In an 8.75, it's pretty easy to swap one 'chunk' for another. If you're looking at swapping ring and pinion on the existing setup, it gets involved (doable but not worth it in my opinion).

    Power wagon pinion angles

    What Del said. keep all angles equal and opposite, that way the crank/transfer case shaft/pinions stay parallel. small angles you can get away with. larger angles beg for a CV joint to minimize vibration. CV drivelines can get pricey. with 12 degrees over such a short distance, check for...

    Ring gear and pinion swap questions

    A kit with new bearings would be your best choice.. cheap insurance for such a labor intensive job.

    driveshaft diameter

    In the words of a former girlfriend, you'll need a bigger shaft..

    8.75 diff - metal in oil (pictures). Is it ruined?

    That looks a bit extreme to me. Normal to find some amount of 'metallic' stuf as new stuff breaks in, but that don't look good.. you might have some rubber ducking going on. I'm sure someone more experienced than me can give you an idea exactly what is ducked..

    Grenaded my rear end!

    Either case is ok. 489 has a stronger pinion. Just look for 'clutch' mechanism vs just spider gears to know if it's sure grip. For general street/driver use, I've had good luck with Yukon gears. Read up a little, rear ends are pretty straightforwad..

    8.75 Rear Diff Concerns

    8 3/4 axle bearing removal question

    I find that it is really easy with a dremel and disc to grove the collar and the 'inside' part of the bearing. Then an easy whack with the chisel and they're off...
