If they have the marks in the back , then they'll still be there, in my experience you can't see them on the back and were always a little mark up front.

I'll get back to explaining hunting and non, the quietest gears are hunting type
I could`nt find any marks on the back of ring, so I did`nt bother to pull the pin bearing yet.
Their is a hash mark on a pin tooth but I think it is just a casting flaw.
Why do they not make 3.23 sets anymore? seems 3.55s and up is only available.
Thanks, I`ve the info between the two, but I`m sure others would like to know too. What would be nice to have and made a sticky is which ratios are non hunting. Also the formula to figure which is which.
I have a set of 273s I believe they are, and I`m wondering if their hunting or non? With todays economy and fuel prices, it may be the way to go.



Nevermind, All I think we have here is a situation where a man is tring to buget build a messed up rear, ignoring a pros advise, My thoughts is: A used gearset is going to wear a set to each other, I imagine if one does not mark the mesh and reassemble the same way your likely to have noise and or be running in a new wear pattern=noise... Since mine was obviously messed with, I`m not going to bother with them and take a pros advise, BUY NEW..The last thing I want to do is tear into this again, once the car is on the road. Absolutely Not!
Thanks to everyone again and forgive me the drama.
