Right. Somehow I jumped to .01 as being one percent.

Hi Bill,
Only the TruLok is Japanese. The gears are genuine Dana Spicer.
I don't think the TruLok is 'crap'. In the past year I logged thousands
of road miles and hundreds of trail hours on the one I put in my XJ,
sometimes stressing it to the point of snapping ujoints, with no
differential problems whatsoever.
I recall you predicted extra leverage on the taller ring gear would
cause the carrier to bend or 'crack like an egg' and that the 'bones
of the Rubicon will litter the trail' (great imagery). I haven't heard
of chronic diff failures in Rubicons. Have you?

Re: 33s and 4.10s
Hi Steve,
I wouldn't remember saying anything about the thickness of the ring
gear, that's the way the old Chevys made up their differences, too.
Maybe, to tweak you a little.
I believe the bigger problem will be the fewer teeth, even though
it on the same diameter pinion will prove weaker than their forties'
design. But probably only behind a V8 like a it's use in the old Ford,
Chevy and Dodge pickups
