GM 8.2 Installations Instructions

Post by GTO Fella »

Jim, I recently purchased an Eaton Posi unit and a USA standard ring and pinion from you. There were not any installation instrustions with them. I have printed some off from Eaton's web site and some off from Yukon's and Richmonds. Is there any one set more revelant to the USA standard or doesn't it really matter? Are there any out there that you know of that you would recamend for the entire process?

Ring and pinion patterns are usually all about the same...You want the pattern in the middle of the coast and drive sides as much as possible. Now there are 2 cut gears and 5 cut gears... But you basically looking for the swipe of each gear taking the compound off the face in a consistent top to bottom and left to right fashion. Here are some good patterns and bad patterns.

I can help you here with any questions on the set-up and also if you can post pictures give you hands on help with the set-up. What size diff were you setting up?
