Hey everyone, I got another question. This is my first time rebuilding a diff.
1989 d100 8.25
I am replacing everything (gears, crush sleeves, bearings, and seals)
I looked in the Haynes manual but its not very clear and I have looked online and none of it makes a lot of sense to me.
I am wondering the correct way to set the pinion preload and how exactly it is supposed to be torqued.
Also the backlash in the ring gear (.007-.010) is what I have heard, not sure if that's correct or not.
One more, the torque on the carrier bearings, I've heard 70ft/lbs with the position of it in the correct place.
Just incase.. I got 3.55 gear set and I'm not building a hotrod. Maybe a little power later but daily driver for now.
If there is a link to the correct way please post that and I really appreciate all the help you all have given me so far.
