THE SURGEON GENERAL SAYS NOTHING ABOUT SMOKIN A FORD
c10 ,let me fix this ,he said if you build it tight for race appl,you would eat the gears in no time ,if you build it like street gears itll probably happen again thats why i asking for reccom,or suggetions too ask or tell him to do .i certainly dont want this too happen again ,oh i am supercharged soo i have alittle bit of ass behind it .
if you had a G80 in it, that is what blew and probably took the gears with it.
dont know what a g80 is but it was the factory3.73 rear.the mech said i could of broke the{ pin }but then i probly took out the gears after or with it.
A G80 is the type of carrier that is found in most NBS trucks. They are prone to failure. Countless amounts of truck enthusiasts from VARIOUS different forums have been seeing these fail, especially behind more powerful than stock powertrains. Upgrade to a stronger carrier if you ever have to change out gears... unless you don't mind having to change it out whenever it goes KABOOM. I have a few friends with NBS trucks that have had them fail, and one or two (that I can think of) that replaced 'em before they went bye-bye.Originally Posted by ramsey rider
As far as gears go, I'm no pro at gear installs, but just ensure that you have strong gears to hold the upgraded power and performance. Also have them adjusted to where the pinion makes even contact in the gear's grooves. If that's done within spec, you should be fine. I don't know of any special method for having a "tighter" or "looser" gear installation. Again... I'm no pro at that, but have never heard it put that way either.

I agree with zeake. Find a different shop all together. A couple of friends of mine that had G80s look like the carrier pic that zeake posted. I'm guessing this guy told you with regards to installing the ring gear closer to the pinion vs far away. If he "knows" what he's doing, he knows how to install gears correctly, and it won't matter how you run your vehicle.
