I just had some Motive 4:10s installed. The gears I got were tall on one side, so they had to be machined down in order to install them. Other than that, though, I haven't had any problems with them yet.

UDTBadkarma said:Well thats reassuring lol Did you use a dial-indicator for the install? If so, where did you get one?
I can't seem to find a good Magnetic base, Dial Indicator (preferably with one of those flex arms on it)

as long as you have a dial indicator and a good manual that shows wear pattern it is almost impossible to mess up unless you just can't read instructions.
pinion preload 15in/lbs used bearing 25in/lbs new bearing
backlash .008-.012
wear pattern
carrier preload .005-.007 to each size after setup is complete
verify runout of the ring gear after you torque the caps
get those three things correct and you are home free.
the crush sleave on mine was tricky. it took alot of torque to get the preload desired.

well, you've done a lot right? Probably be more informative coming from an experienced mechanic than a rookie. NOt saying he cant do it right, but its the small things you pick up after doing something like that over and over again. just my .02. I'd appreciate a gear install how-to coming from anyone if its done rightsvttech76 said:I am thinking of doing a write up on gear installs. So if he don't I will when I get a chance.
