Matt Saunoras Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Thanks for posting that up, very informative. I've got a 10.5 to set up in the next few weeks with a new ring and pinion and the customer is buying a true trac for it also. I'd like to set it up properly rather than just reuse all the old shims like I typically would. All I need is a gauge block to have the full set of 10.5 pinion shim tools. Not sure what I'm going to do there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have had good luck using same size shims when only a gear swap is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I ordered the gauge block from rotunda so I'll try that with a dummy pinion bearing to see how it works first. I know one thing, I'll feel better knowing I gave it my best shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
