Do you mind if I ask how much the carrier was and where you got it?Hey guys just was hoping for some help reading my gear pattern on a new carrier and set of gears that I'm installing. I'm new to differentials so I'm learning as I go. I feel like my gear pattern is off. Not sure if its the pinion depth or the backlash (backlash is .007) but was looking for a second opinion. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
I've got a 98 k1500. Original rear end was
10 bolt
8.5"
GT4. 3.73
G80 LSD
I was told I needed the carrier and that there was a spun carrier race/bearing and that the axle housing was damaged and suggested I get a used rear end.
I think they just didn't want to go through the process of setting it up from scratch.
So I finally found a used one.
I got my original rear end and had a friend come look at it. We took it apart and didn't see any damage in the race area.
The one I found came out of a 91 k1500 with 100 k but it's an open carrier in it.
I could tell quick I wanted LSD back in it. I've been looking and trying to decide what to get.
What year is your truck? Is it 10 bolt,8.5"
Thanks
