Run it er what?
Set up my gears and compared to this chart I have it looks good to me. Poss pinion in too tight is why I'm asking. Wondering what some of you think. .007 backlash.

Thanks
D

thanks redneckjoe! I think I may pull the pinion out some and see what it does. I have all the tools to do this, doesnt take long, 10 min, to tear it down and press bearing off. Started with the stock shim. .030, but pinion was too far away so I stuck a .014 behind and this is what I got. Book Said to make big changes so you could easily see a change. I'll try a total of .036 maybe. If I dont like I'm going back.to .044 and running it. Ordered my axles from strange, they should be in this week.
