[QUOTE="Beercules, post: 15069366, member: 156123"] Solid is the way to go, just easier and no possibility of deforming under load. Don't know if ratech is like the yukon, but the yukon has no machining to fit right, just 2 spacer pieces with shims to go between for sizing. I think a girdle would help the most. Forget if it's currie or strange who told me one of the reasons it whines after the track is because launches pull the gears apart and adds a second pattern. The ring gear/carrier gets pushed far enough out that it allows the bearings to spin in the caps (i need to post pictures). The girdle will help keep these caps where they belong. ( read some GM guys' posts somewhere where they thought everyone should have a girdle if you have power). Another reason for whine I found while researching is because the bearings/races wear in and cause a little play for the ring gear (different backlash adjustments for new/old bearings). I'm thinking this is why people have quiet gears for a while, then they get noisy after some miles...even though they don't abuse the gears much. ( maybe install with a case spreader or second session for reshimming would help quiet everything down?) As for the pinion spacer, I found out I spun the bearings and figured that's adding noise and it would be difficult to fix...upgraded to a 9" (the gears themselves will bend before they pull apart under load=no second pattern). BTW, get strange axles...same price, and I bent my mosers without ever getting traction. [/QUOTE]
