Cordell Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 and how many f-bodys had a dana in it? NONE! No shit? really? I can't help it that Ford designed one of the best rear ends ever, and GM's rears have sucked for years. Too bad Ford hasen't used the 9inch in their cars for quite some time now.

I'll just stick with my f-body, and upgrade the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkmaster03 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I pulled to 10 bolt out today and tore it apart to get the backing plates off to use with the 9" and found that this one as well had stripped the pinion gear. http://inlinethumb25.webshots.com/42584/2631103440084904615S600x600Q85.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinisterSS Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I heard that you are familiar with this. my stock 3:42's never broke the spyder gears did, so I replaced with a auburn pro diff, and 4:10's go to the track 1st day it was open in 07 and broke the teeth on those gears, buy 4:56 gears and it lasted until oct 08, so I basically tore apart the rear axle housing cleaned it up and replaced with another set of 4:56's with the help of scott, when I get caught up on my expenses I'm looking to do what you are, btw what did that setup cost if you don't mind me asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolrayz Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 You are so going to HATE that aluminum center section. I had one. It allows flex and the gears will be howling in no time. They suck on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They suck on the street. That is what I was debating for the longest time, which to go with and I was on LS1tech and called Exotic Performance and they said that they have not had any issue or complaints about it flexing. Either way it's to late now, I guess I'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They suck on the street. i dont see that happening. if the gears are howling, they are either pro gears, or just plain setup wrong. and it seems almost all richmond gears howl on decel.

I didnt see it happenning either, but I was warned before I bought it this would happen. I had that rearend in for many years and had 4 different gear sets in it. They were not pro sets and were set up correctly. They would all start out dead quite and after a year of beating on them they would be whining. The gears themselves would show alot of wear and there would be a sharp edge on the top of the ring gears. I thought a ford expert like yourself would have known more about the 9" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" They would all start out dead quite and after a year of beating on them they would be whining.

99ta Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 My 9" will be getting purchased here soon. just trying to decide who to buy it from. EEP with the moser, midwest fab 9", or jawgears ford 9". all about the same price. I don't know much about rear ends so I am having a hard time deciding, and its a lot of money.
