Post I need help finding a freakin' pinion nut for my 4.10's HELP

The only one in the Detroit are, so the parts guy says, I ordered. When I went to pick it up, the threads were trashed because someone tried to put that metric nut on an SAE pinion; and, the parts goofs put it back on the shelf for sale, stripped and all. Can someone help me find the pinion nut; so I can do my gears. I'd REALLY appreciate it. I will pay all costs in getting it to me.

Thanks for any help

Maybe Drive Drain Direct can help. They stock Precision Gears for the L's.

Man,

I thought a place with a name like www.drivetraintruckparts.com would have the part.. I called them and got "What's a Lightning?" I then simply said F150 and he said.. if you bring yours in, I might be able to match it. Sigh...

BadBolt... please forgive my ignorance, but is that Ford's part # or Precision's?

BadBolt,

No problem. Just called my local dealer. They had the old nut(?) part #390313-S100 in stick for $4.something and could get the other one in by tomorrow if the local warehouse had one. Cost was $8.25. If it wasn't local, it'd be next Monday. Want me to get it for you and express mail it?

I've already got that part numbered pinion nut you write about; problem is, that's the SAE nut and will not work for my metric threaded pinion. The other part is probably the right metric nut; but, I just ordered two from Pyle. Thanks much for helping. I'll post if I get the right parts. If it turns out to be the wrong nut, I'll page you for some help. Appreciated.

Bad, just be very careful that you get the correct nut for your gears. The first set of Precision Gears I bought were trashed because the mechanic tried to use the nut for the FMS gears. Make sure your installer knows wtf he's doing.
