8 1/4 Pinion Gear

[phish1270]

Looking for a 3:55 pinion gear for an 8 1/4 rear end. I got a 3:55 ring gear out of a Dakota at Pull-a-Part but could not get the pinion. Located in 28078. Please PM if you have one & are willing to sell. Thanks

I could be all wrong about this but I don't think it is advisable to put two different gears from different rearends together I think that each has established a wear pattern. If I have this all wrong somebody correct me.

You need to take a big pipe wrench with you to hold the yolk so you can get the pinion nut off. Next time use the e brake to hold the rear while you remove the pinion nut first, then you can pull the carrier. The rear will howl like a wolf if you use another pinion gear.

Yep,and probably wear fast.

You don't know anything about automobiles. LOL. Rear end gears are a matched set. You can scrap the ring gear. Hunky
