Judging by the pics, I'd pull at least .005" out, maybe .010", and go from there...at least that way if it comes too far out, you know it's somewhere in between the setup in there now, and -.010"... Good Luck!!!:awesomework:

haha once again your reading skills fail you misserable:haha::fawkdancesmiley:

i have had .005 and .010 less in and the pattern seamed like to was way to close the face, so i am going to put it back to what i origanally set it up with. which is what the book reccamended since both new and old R&P said +2 right now there is a total shim thickness of .064 i origanly started with .061

fawk who no well see what happens:squirrel:

it needs to be rubbing the paint in the middle of the teeth and just because its wont see the road dosnt mean the rocks wont take it out paint the hole ring gear and make shere that its wearing the same all the way around and it has to be in the midle of the tooth and it should be smooth when u spin the pinion pm me if u have any ?s

when you say middle of the gear... face to flanke, or heal to toe?

reread your post... okay did that.. all you say is that it is to deep, to close to the centerline of the ring gear... i already no this, from what i have read the heal to toe isn't that important what is those is the face to flank...

Cascade_Crawler · Jun 17, 2009

The shape of the pattern is important, its a good indicator of whats going on with your pinion depth. I said nothing about the centerline of the ring gear. Pull ten thou out and post of a pic of the pattern and we can go from there.

Back to original shims...

zukkev · Jun 21, 2009

That pattern looks like death...:booo: Maybe the 6:17's are just prone to an odd pattern, or got a bad gearset??? Looks like on the drive side, the pinion's not deep enough & the coast side it's too deep...:eeek:

Damnyankee · Jun 21, 2009

take the pinon out a touch more and move the carrier over a bit?

zukkev · Jun 21, 2009

Here's a pattern of the 4:27's I set up yesterday; Drive side's perfect, while the coast side isn't as nice as I'd like, but still has full contact on the tooth...

If you look closely at the factory lap-in signature markings, the patterns almost mimic them...

Hip · Jun 21, 2009

yeah im tending to agree, these are spicer gears and i usually have the best luck with spicer over aftermarket gears. weve have been all over the range of pinon depth and this is about the best we have gotten so far.

BL @ .007"

zukkev · Jun 21, 2009

Maybe send 'em in for another set??? The ones I did are yukons---With the exception of getting a 'test' set of gears once, have had good luck with 'em...But yes, Spicer gears usually set up nicely, as do richmonds---I've actually had good success with the few Sierra sets...
