Hey Guys,
Went to a swap meat here in town, guy had a bunch of Ring and Pinions sitting around, asked him if he had the 4.27 I needed for my Dana 30 front Diff.
He went into some story about them being weak and breaking mostly due to a thin pinion cut...
I love how the gearing is on the highway with my 33's, so I'm wondering if there is any validity to his advice, or was he trying to sell me two new R & P
Thanks,
