Monty I don't buy it, I will buy the case flexing and allowing the pinion to try to climb the ring gear. The large pinions break ring gears just like the small ones do. So I guess they flex too even they are bigger than most 9". If they flexed that much we'd see broken pinion shafts.


UUUhhhmmm, a Ford has a support bearing.......so how's it gonna flex. Not wanting you to "buy" it, don't have to sell it to you, because it's a fact. There is not enough room in the case to actually break a pinion off from the side load.......BUT......you ever had a broken set of gears magged. How much YOU willing to bet on the pinion NOT bent or cracked, because I will put a wager that it IS.
