Rear Carrier Change Question

[69*Goat]

you'll need to reshim the carrier, the pinion should be ok. if you have the tools and ability to do it yourself then why take it somewhere, if you don't then its best to have it done at a shop, gear whine and premature failure isn't worth the gamble to me.

Thanks Sam.



I have the tools(that's the dangerous part). As far as ability, I know just enough to get into trouble. I have heard that All Carriers are different even changing like for like. So I am guessing that shims on one will be different on another.

@ Motorcity: the G.M. 8.5, is not like the Ford 9". On the Ford you pull the whole "Chunk" as 1 assembly, you can't do that on a G.M.
