SOLD 8.75 rear end center section 742 case with 3.55 gears and suregrip

[superbee_68]

I have a 742 case 8.75 rear end center section with 3.55 gears and a sure grip. Only has 200 miles on new gear set, new bearings, and full rebuild. I spent two days rebuilding this with all the right tools, perfect pinion preload, perfect contact pattern, perfect backlash, and the gears started whining after a few miles. Instead of trying again, I bought a new complete center section and pulled this one out. I can ship it to you, just send me a zip code and I’ll get a quote. It’s sitting in a bucket ready to ship in the pictures.

Would like to get $500 plus shipping. Thanks

Whose gears?

Whose gears?

They are from Dr. Diff. Not sure what brand he sells. Ended up buying a complete third member from him, great guy and very helpful. My new third member is working great. I have about a 50% success ratio on building rear ends with quiet gears. Ran out of patience and didn’t want to try again.

His "house brand" I believe is Motive and he stated that they can be a little noisy. For a few dollars more he does have the Nitro brand. That's what I installed and so far they have been quite.

It is an OEM Suregrip. My dad lives in the Woodlands and I visit a couple times of year. Don't have any plans to go any time soon, but if I do head south I can reach out to you and try to set something up if no one has bought it by then.

I will see what I can do, but I am more selling this as a rebuild able core. Too much gear whine for my liking, and I don't think there is any way to quiet it down after they start to whine. I have another set of 3.55 gears I bought I would sell pretty cheap ($150 new in the box) with this rear end. The right person could get these swapped on and have a good setup for pretty cheap. All the bearings are brand new, so no need to change any of that, just a new pinion bearing if it gets destroyed coming off to measure shims.
