Is there a noticable difference in strength between 5.13 and 5.38 gears for a D44?

I don't think the ring gear would be in question it's the pinion that would be smaller and be more prone to stripping teeth. I have no first hand experience in the 5.38 vs. 5.13 in a D44. But I would think the 5.38's would be weaker, but how much I do not know.

Anybody of a pic of a 5.13 next to a 5.38 for comparison?

I would love to see the pattern for both those pics (with marking compound). They both look like they've taken the outside of the tooth off in a manner usually indicitave of poor pattern and backlash (the witness marks on the carrier from the pinion would tend to support this).

ah, i meant just pinion.
as for install error, it wasn't done by me, but dana44 ox lockers require special carrier bearings and the shims need to be installed on the outside of the bearings. maybe the both of us used a lazy installer for our gears and he got fed up trying to juggle the shims with the heavyass locker. it lasted me about 7 months of wheeling/daily driving

both are going to be pretty weak, though not many ppl break pinions. a comparison that close prob wont prove to be very important

Then again, that might be the reflection from the flash.

Not mine. That OX carrier has been in there since 2002.
My failure was due to a severely bent axle housing, when the 5.13s were installed the pattern was perfect.
