Ring gear wear
Little background, two seasons ago when I moved from 4.10 gears to 3.89 I pulled my third member to keep as a spare (and in case I wanted to go back) and bought an identicle third member from a gear company set and ready to with the pro 9” 3.89. Doing some inspection this off season and it appears the gears have been sharpened with splinters and sharp edges in the machined face (where it’s usually scerated.) No outright broken (missing teeth) but I’m sure it’s not far away. Going to replace, just wondering what the cause is, not seen that before...although I do have a bunch of 220mph passes on them. Most the wear is at the toe side, will get a metal splinter if you run your finger from the toe to heal aspect of the gear. Also almost every tooth is the same, some are just a little worse than others but all have the wear. Will work on posting some pictures from the bore camera, have not pulled them yet.

I wonder if the depth was set wrong. (Shim) After you do pull it out, put the torque wrench on the ring gear bolts.

Are you running a load bolt?

A lot of factors to consider including type of oil and amount.
