    FRUSTRATED! need help with carrier swap

    If it has a slug in between the axles just pull the axles and pull the carrier out and take a magnet and pull that baby out or just push it out with a dowel rod. Use a rubber mallet or dead blow hammer when banging on the axle ends. Reassemble. Done deal.

    8 3/4 geared to low. Whats compatable?

    I've got a set of 3.91's in my 8.75 Tru Trac and it will shift through ALL 3 gears in a very short distance going at a slow pace. If you are getting 3 obvious shifts then yes you will want some taller gears for the road. The question i would have is the rear you have is it a sure grip? Keep that...

    Help with 7 1/4 rear end

    1970duster, check your info pertaining to the Dana 60 being the only rear being offered in the 68 SS Hemi cars. My findings are that if equiped with an auto tranny then the 8.75 was the rear unit. If it was equiped with a four speed then it came with a Dana. I'll drag out the intel if ya need me...

    Rear Axle Identification

    O.K. let me throw this out there for you to check out. You'll love this. After checking in my archives i find the E body 8.75 rears are the same dimensions of the Dana 60 rears. Does your center section come out from the front or rear? The Danas come out from the rear. The 8.75's come out from...

    The Jig ?

    Looking for a Jig that's used in cutting a rear housing. To the best of my knowledge there is a lug that slips into the ends you are putting on and also two lugs that are fastened down by tightening the bearing cap bolts at the center section. These 4 lugs have a hole drilled in the center to...

    8 3/4 rebuild costs....

    If you were close by it would cost you a 12 pack of MGD and if you felt like you were getting a deal you could throw in a bottle of Kesslers. Bring the parts and a good day and we'd have her done. If you're buying a Sure Grip unit go ahead and buy an Eaton Tru Trac gear drive. Very nice and you...

    9.25 Rear ?

    The unit is ina 92 3/4 ton van and it looks to be somewhat original. Pics of the rig are in the parts car section. The ends of the tubs neck down rather than being straight out to the ends. It has 12 bolts in the rear cover so that gives it away for the 9.25. Small Block

    9.25 Rear ?

    I just bought a 3/4 ton conversion van that has a 9.25 under it. Not sure if it's a peg leg or SG at this time. Do these 9.25's have any value and are they desireable fo any of our cars or street trucks? Lots of other stuff on it like disc brakes, OD tranny. Curious about the rear end value...

    Driveshaft length?

    My fool proof method for determining the length is to install motor and tranny and rear end. Load it on a trailer and take the whole program to the shop that's building your shaft and let them crawl under the car and take their own measurement. You may not have a trailer but this is fool proof...

    8.25 setup, any ideas?

    Like fishy, i cant see the grease line as well. What grease are you using? I use white lith grease or the regular yellow stuff. If the line you drew is the edge of your pattern you need to be more in the center of the tooth with it. You will need to work with both adjustments to achieve the...

    8 1/4 Gear Change Question

    I dont think so. The adjusters have keepers that are bolted in place to keep em from backing out. Where did you hear that? A good snug fit and then bolt the adjusters in place. No torque value comes to mind. I'll research it though. On your backlash setting it is very minute. I've got to where i...

    You got it. Be sure when and if you order parts for your specific case to let the vendor know which case you have. Gear sets(ring and pinion) can be had is several different ratios. Heres a tip. If you take it apart be sure to remember where the shims came from during disassembly and how many of...
