What did you use to check pinion depth? You really need the Ford tool to do this properly.

ya i built my whole car pretty much, so i figured i culd throw a set of gears in...well everyone told me i culdnt w.out the right tools, but being the thick-headed german that i am, i didnt listen, and of course, i didnt do it right, so after 400$ and a trip to taunton i had Ed Lenoard at Lenoards auto repair set me up good, better than 650-700$ Dez racing was gonna charge me(plus i had to wait 2 weeks) ed had mine done the same day i dropped it off....ed did a really nice job too no whining or howling at all at any speed, and i highley reccomend him for anything on your mustang, he has tons of used parts and can get anyting u need....so the lesson is...dont fuck with rear ends if u dont know wat your doin like me...cuz they mean business. save it for the pro's....

You're the first one I've heard to say anything good about Ed Leonard. He is a total piece of shit and I've heard more than a handful of people's stories about what a scumbag he is.

Glad your rear got fixed though!

Whats up Big Frank?? Did you use Richmonds or Motorsports??? I know the Richmonds whine like a mother fucker!! Shimming the Gears is key, I have seen some done and It looks complicated, Richie from RPM did mine.
