Title: Ring and pinion setup
Post by: OHEARN.2012 on August 01, 2014, 09:51:05 PM
Possibly looking for someone that could help me set up a ring and pinion in a 78 ford hp dana 44. It came with I believe 3.73 gears and im stepping up to 4.10s can I use my same carrier and spider gears or will I need a new one? I Can provide the parts and money for the job. just looking for someone who can show me the steps involved in setting them up. I have no experience doing this. If someone pretty close would be willing to help me out that would me awesome. Thanks Kyle.

Same spiders are fine, but install new bearings and get the shim kit.  Pm me or big Todd for a quote on us installing for you.

turns out he's right.  Hp has a carrier break between 3.73-4.10, that means the shim stacks change on the carrier too, a little bit bigger job.
