All things being equal, my 2002 mmax with stock 8t drivers and 2" lug track, I want to put in 9 tooth ones, how much do I have to cut off the track to clear? 1/4" and what are the different size diameters of the 8t and 9t drivers?

Didn't you already cut your track down?... A new track?..

Yes i cut down a 2.25" track down to 2" but im going with bigger drivers, and 8" rear wheels so I need to cut a little more off.

with my 141" and 9 tooth drivers, I still haven't used the track adjusters yet... Still very tight and likely my cause for pooer fuel economy that I was hoping for...
What lenght track?.. If 141, might have trouble with 9 drivers and 8 inch wheels..

Hey Max
Check out my post in the Viper section reading "what's the diameter difference between". If I knew how to put the link here I would, but I don't. I believe the answer was that the 8 tooth was slightly over 3/4 of an inch smaller than the 9 tooth. Check it out to be sure. ridesrx

1 3/4" lug track will work with 9 tooth drivers. There is about 1/4" clearance at the closest point at the front heat exchanger. Your 2 1/4" track may have a thicker "belt section", so you may have to trim it slightly shorter then the 1 3/4".

thanks, my belt area is pretty thin, so are you saying 1 3/4 lug height or 1 3/4 lug and track height total will fit?? thanks........Rob
1 3/4" lug height. I have a #9933 (136" 16" 1.75") in mine with 9 tooths. It's kind of a hassle to get the axle in, when you first install it. Once it's in and the driver lugs are engaged to the track, things go much easier.

Yeah, i'v been there before too, I don't want to cut off too much from my track, so I will try cutting another 1/4" off and see what hapens
