WTB 3.73 ring and pinion
I need a good used ring and pinion for a dana 35c with 3.73 ratio.
The cross pin on mine came out and tore up everything. My guy had hoped to save me some $$$ by re-using the ring and pinion since it only had one minor chip on one of the pinion teeth. Well, is growls quite bad and when they listened with their electronic mic, they could here the tick tick of that tooth. So I think I the pinion bearings are shot, and I need new gears. They will use gears that I supply, but if they get them for me, they go through the local dealer. They want over $400. for gears. If someone in the boston area has re-geared a dana 35c I would like to purchase your old 3.73 gear set. I would like to get them this weekend if possible, so I can get this whole mess over with. If no replies this weekend, can someone recommend a source that can get them to me ASAP. Thanks Dan H. riderdan AT yahoo.com -- Dan |
Re: WTB 3.73 ring and pinion
It sounds as if you lost your cross pin, and then the shop put things back
together without replacing the pinion bearings. Correct me if this is not true. Why would you go back to that shop? I don't know, maybe you convinced them to do the job on the cheap. It almost never works out, unless you are as lucky as I am. Even I have a bad run now and then. Most any local auto parts store, NAPA, Autozone, Carquest, etc. should be able to get that gear set cheaper than the Jeep dealer. The 35c has a reputation as a cheap axle. If you cook one that bad you are likely to continue to have problems with it, no matter how many parts and dollars you throw at it.

Re: WTB 3.73 ring and pinion
Dan if your rear end is growling, and it is not from Mexican food, then all
your internal moving parts are swimming in a soup of gear oil and ring and pinion chips. This is not good, even for the parts that were new a week ago. Depending on how long you drove it, the whole thing could be junk by now. Cheers, Earle "dan" <notme@privacy.net> wrote in message news:471e4eaf.12237510@news20.forteinc.com... > What's that Lassie?

And I'm not driving it any more. It did sound better when the broken carrier was in though. The pinion took a hell of a shot when the cross pin came out. Still can't believe I made it home.

Last time I lost a cross pin, it snuggled up between the ring gear and pinion in an old Scout with 4:11's doing about 60. Damn near lost my teeth on the steering wheel! I had to crawl under and drop the rear drive shaft so I could get home with front wheel drive.
