Regearing this Ford 10.5 to 4.10 with used gears. I’ve got the backlash at .007. My first attempt and from what I understand gear patterns on used gears are read differently. Thanks!

That's about as good as you can get a used gear. The contact patch is wide and gradual.
What was the pinion shim thickness? Around 25-30?

Thanks for the reassurance! I started with the original shim which was .026 but it seemed like the pinion was too deep so I ended up with .018.

Does that backlash sound ok to you? It’ll be going in my F350 and I had read that some people run on the higher side with the backlash in a vehicle that’s going to be pulling a trailer.
