Important Mechanical & Installation Notes

• Professional Installation Mandated: Installing differential ring and pinion gears requires specialized master-mechanic tools, including dial indicators, torque wrenches, and hydraulic presses. Setting precise backlash, pinion depth, and bearing preload is critical. Installation by a certified differential or drivetrain specialist is strictly required.

• Break-In Period Required: New gear sets require a strict break-in procedure. Avoid heavy towing, high-speed highway driving, or aggressive acceleration for the first 500 miles to allow the gears to mate properly. Change the differential fluid immediately after the break-in period is complete.

• Always Use New Seals & Bearings: For optimal longevity and to prevent premature gear howling or whining, it is highly recommended to use a new master overhaul kit (new bearings, races, and oil seals) during installation.
