8.8 rear gear question
guys, i have never tore into a rear axle more than changing wheel bearings and seals. but i have an 8.8 axle that has a cracked tooth on the ring gear. i also have another 8.8 axle that has a good ring gear. is it possible to just swap the ring gears and not have to reset all the preload and shims? or do i have to recheck the backlash and shim the carrier different and all that?
and i dont mean just change the ring gear, i mean whole carrier/ring gear assembly.
any help/advise would be greatly appreciated. im off today and tomorrow and i have to get this fixed now, with no money! lol broke till friday.
