Re: Broken 742

Don't think so Dodger, no evidence of a previous crack however it's a real coincidence that the break was on the exact area that Richmond smoothed (ground slightly) on the outside edge of the gear so that they could etch the build info on it with a power scribe. The problem is that I bought the gear set years ago but just recently got the car running and I'm not looking for warranty assistance, I just don't want to keep repeating the process. I'm getting too old to bench press 125 lbs. over my head.

Jimmy, I'm confident in the setup. Had it done by Pyle Brothers in Baytown, Tx and they are the best, most experienced in the area. I also checked the backlash and preload before I put it in the housing.

Forget about fuel economy, I'm getting 250 miles per Richmond ring gear. I've seen a lot of Mopar race cars with 8 3/4s under them, even some with stock axles but this one broke the first time I jumped on it with the new tires. For those of you with sticky tires, am I wasting my time with a 742 or should I go ahead and start scavenging for a DANA? 4 speed, 4:10, drag radials (occasionally), street car (usually). Glad I stuck a magnet in the diff reservoir which kept the broken teeth out of the chunk. Would appreciate some feedback. Thanks
