    First time rebuilding a 8.6

    First time rebuilding a 8.6

    Hi y’all this is my first time rebuilding my 8.6 in my 2003 Tahoe 5.3. I’ve re-geared to a 4.11 and am setting my patterns. I’ve got my backlash at 9 thow and this is my first pattern. Is this acceptable or what changes should be made.
