Yeah not sure why people would run 0 backlash when those gears heat up the need room to grow, spells disaster all over it in my opinion

Ok I added a .010" shim to the pinion depth and I think it turned out ok, let me know what you think, backlash is at .007" and total rolling preload is 30"lbs

Ok that's what I was thinking just wanted to hear someone else agree lol I'll add a shim thanks

Moving the carrier over more closes up the gap between the ring gear and pinion tightening up the back lash does it not? Or am I misunderstanding?

Yeah I have the backlash set already, so should I leave everything the way it is? And not move the ring gear closer?

8 3/4 with 3:91 and true trac

Yeah eaton true trac made in Taiwan

Yes first pic is drive side second is coast, so if the carrier needs to move closer towards pinion but my back lash is .007" what does one do because if I move it in more I'll loose my backlash spec

Yeah I was thinking that, is that corrected by moving pinion depth closer to ring gear?

Hey guys setting up my new ring and pinion and was wondering your thoughts on the gear pattern I have, not sure if it's ok or to add more shim to the pinion thanks

That actually would be a good way to route it.

When your lines are smaller you should see a pressure increase not a drop, Bernoulli's principal any restriction will increase pressure.

I have never actually ran an oil temp gauge on a car but from what I read and have heard oil usually sits around the 230deg. mark, now that oil heat has to go somewhere which it dissipates into the block and transfers into the cooling system, some aftermarket coolers are claiming 20deg temp drop.

Most new vehicles have a trans cooler and an oil cooler in the rad, I know my chevy truck did. I know the possibility of failure is there but it chance is very minimal.

No different then it cracking and wrecking your trans, adding a cooler lowers temps, more oil capcity, oil lasts longer seals and gaskets last longer, The lower you can keep the temps the better overheating problems suck

Looking at the sandwich adaptors that have the cooling outlet ports on them are only 3/8" , even the ones for the cummins are only 3/8"

The oil pickup on most pumps is generally only 3/8"

I was wondering what everyone's thoughts where on using the trans cooler in the rad as an engine oil cooler, since I am running a 4 speed I will not need a trans cooler and was thinking about adding an oil cooler, wondering if anyone has done this befor thanks
