.009 will work just fine.....as good as your pattern is....it should run quietly...not every one agrees but the guy who taught me....always put the vehicle on jack stands and ran it for about 30 minutes to warm it up...then let it cool slowly...and you're good to go....did you replace the carrier bearings?
