Default Can somebody help me?

Does anyone have set-up spec's for a Motive 4.56, 9.25 ring and pinion?

My brother and I installed my new 4.56 gear set at his dealership a few weeks ago and we thought everything went great but something is wrong with the set-up and I need to tear it back down and do it again.

The new gear set did not come with any setup specs so we set it up with factory clearances and such..... This is obviously wrong...

Thanks in advance for your help!

I Might have too.

Quite a few peeps on here have installed them so I figured I'd try here first... Much easier with my work schedule.... Motive is closed when I get off work.

Thank you!

Wow, they were not much help at all.

He could not find anything solid on how they want it set up..... Back to square one I guess.

Thanks everyone

We found the problem...

The "New" inner pinion bearing had failed for some reason. Not really sure why but I replaced the bearings and put it back together and drove the truck 2400 miles to Pennsylvania with no problem so all is well now....

Thanks to those who chimed in...

BTW, it was colder then **** in Penn!!!!!!
