After working my 'stock gears/one locker' angle to death, I decided to regear my rig myself.
I did a lot of reading, looked at a lot of pictures, and gave it a shot.
I finished the 44 today, and am happy with my first pattern.
Not so scary with the right (borrowed) tools and some phone tech.
These are 4.88s with a LockRight in my 44.

Coast side:

Backlash is .006, and pinion depth ended up .001 shallower than with the 3.55s that were in it at .071.
Used .030 shims on one side and .035 on the other, and then added .003 per side for preload.
I had to pull the carrier 4 times and the pinion 3 times before I was able to lose the setup bearings.
Zen and the art of not throwing tools through a wall.
Lot of sharp things to be found in a 44 housing when holding a heavy carrier covered in grease.
I am sore, tired, and need a beer.
Opinions welcomed.
:cheers:

LUCK???
You, sir, are a bastard.
I worked for this, big time.
I am beat like a teen penis, but feel like Daniel-San when he realized he wasn't just waxing cars and painting fences.

Big Country will do anyones gears for nothing more than three cans of beer and a couple slices of Veggie-lovers pizza.

Saturdays only, please. On sunday, he is in the house of the lord.

If you can spot a textbook pattern, then read that book and learn to do your own.
 
Looks good. if you were anal about it then you could add that .001'' back into the pinion. but i try tobe overly critical.
 
Congratulations BC on your install ...

You're right about luck ... the only luck involved is in maintaining your patience. Enjoy the gears ...

Excellent.
Bg, whenever you're available come on down to Indiana to set, ah, I mean have a beer, yea, just come on down for a couple beers. It'll be fun, just us and the gears, I mean beers.

With that .001" added in, the pinion was a little 'loose' for my liking.
Granted, this is my first R&P, but it 'felt' better without that .001".
Thanks for the input, it is much appreciated.
:cheers:

INCORRECT.

Dollywood is the capital of tennesee.

A good, full contact pattern is shaped like the state of tennesee

Learn how to spell. Poor spelling takes away from the insult by making you look like an idiot. It's "you're" not "your". As in "You're an illiterate bonehead." and "Where did you get your education, you ignorant jackass."
