I am into my first re-gear and seem to be running into a problem. This might not be a problem but I have never done this before so I thought I'd ask in case I was missing something. I have pushed the pinion to deep and had it to far away. Those patterns I recognize, but the last time, it seems like one side of the gear tooth shows to shallow and one side shows to deep. I will just keep adjusting and see if I can fix it but if there is a simple solution. I'll post pics of the most recent pattern and if someone could tell me if I'm reading it wrong, PLEASE DO!!!
It's a Ford 8.8 from a 1996 Ford Explorer. Moving from 3.53 to 4.88. less than .001" runout, I keep the backlash in spec everytime I adjust the pinion.
Here's a couple pics.
Any help would be appreciated!
