RING GEAR & PINION – Remove & Replace
BARELY ANY FUEL IN TANK!
When installing a new ring and pinion it is recommended to properly break in the new components. The proper break in procedure will extend the life of the components and help with the prevention of premature failure usually caused by extreme heat. Although your new ring and pinion is “Lapped” from the factory for smooth quiet operation, they will still need to be broken in once they have been installed. A new ring and pinion will initially run hotter when new and can cause extensive damage if the temperature exceeds ideal operating conditions for an extended period of time. The suggested break in procedure is as follows, The first drive with the new ring and pinion should be under normal driving conditions (No hard starts, No racing, No off-roading, No towing and not at Highway speeds). The vehicle should be driven 15-20 minutes around town, normal stop and go driving. Then you should let the axle assembly “Completely Cool” (this will allow the gear oil to cool down so it does not reach temperatures that will break down the oil, causing loss of protection) Repeat the 10-15 minute drive and cooling off period 2-3 times Then you will want to drive on the highway and repeat the process at least 2 times abiding by local speed laws but not exceeding 65 MPH, be sure to let the axle assembly completely cool between drives (very important). Lastly you will want to change the gear oil after the initial 500-1000 miles and your gears are broken in correctly. Note: If vehicle will be used for towing, repeat the break in procedure the first time it is used to tow. Follow the factory service manual for recommended differential service intervals unless the vehicle is used in extreme conditions on a regular basis, you will want to service the differential more often. (Recommended gear oil is an 80W-90 or 85W-140, Non-Synthetic, GL5 grade or Higher, Name Brand Oil. Please note extreme weather conditions may require alternative weight oil so be sure to consult a local mechanic or lube technician for recommendations) <<<NOTE OR IMPLIED.>>> A restock fee of 15% will be charged on all authorized returns. Aftermarket ring & pinion sets are designed primarily for strength not for silent operation. With this in mind some aftermarket ring & pinion sets suffer from a gear whine.

Vehicle has suspension conversion kit installed elsewhere, wires need to be grounded reason for suspension lights to come on dash. Suggest customer take back to shop that installed kit. Air ride system was removed from vehicle.
AFTER DIAG FOUND LEFT FRONT HUB BEARING WSS BAD, ALSO HAD CODE FOR EBCM BRAKE MODULE, POSSIBLY MAY NEED DEALER FOR REPROGRAMING. AFTER REPLACING EBCM, IF LIGHT COMES BACK ON.
Changed Motor Oil & Replaced Filter, Added 4 QTS Blended Motor Oil, Lube Chassis, Check all Fluid Levels
INSTALL L/FRT WHEEL BEAR
Rotate Tires…….Front To Rear

Scanned vehicle for trouble codes and found C0131- abs/tcs system pressure circuit fault, and C0244- PWM delivered torque fault stored as history codes. Test drove vehicle multiple times over two day period while observing scan tool abs data related to master cylinder pressure and voltage readings and was never able to get the abs light to activate. Issue seems very intermittent at this time, and after speaking with customer was advised this issue can go days without reoccurring, and may be more noticeable during wet conditions. Removed connector from abs module to check for any obvious corrosion and found none. Used dielectric grease on connections and reinstalled connector. Recommend returning vehicle if/ when issue becomes more obvious. This issue may be difficult to resolve due to the intermittent nature of events. Unable to duplicate customer concern at this time.

VERIFIED CUSTOMERS CONCERN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND RUNS FINE. SCANNED VEHICLE AND FOUND MULTIPLE CODES. PO420-BANK 1 CATALYIC EFFIENCY. P2099-POST CATALYST FUEL TRIM SYSTEM HIGH LIMIT. P0532-AC PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW.P0496-EVAP SYSTEM FLOW DURING NON PURGE DURING NON PURGE CONDITIONS. PO128- ENGINE THERMOSTAT BELOW REGULATING TEMPERATURE. REPLACED PURGE VALVE DUE TO LEAKING EXCESS GAS FUMES INTO ENGINE. AND REPLACED THERMOSTAT AND TEST DROVE VEHICLE AND NO CODES CAME BACK. VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE CODES UPON ENTRY. THIS IS A STARTING POINT. VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN TO SEE IF ANY CODES COME BACK.
