Need some feedback on a gear pattern (I am horrible at reading these) in my 89' D70HD
Usually I don't stress too much because I've had good luck running used gears with what ever pattern is close enough as long as the backlash and pinion bearing preload was right, but these are new 3.54 gears that will be hauling anywhere from 7500lb up to 22,000lb in my compound turbo Cummins Chevy that generates over 700lbft of torque so I'm being a bit paranoid with this setup.
Pinion with previous shims set @ approx 25inlb rolling torque and carrier with no preload set @ .010" backlash;
