As expected the old shim Stack ##'s were near perfect with the new gears and truetrac.
Checking backlash, .008, right in the middle of the spec of .006-.010
Pattern looked good so off the setup bearings came and the real bearings went on and the diff back in. You can see the cap studs here too. Putting it togethor I thought it felt much more solid then the bolts. Maybe my imagination, maybe not. Time will tell.
I did also de-burr the bearing caps and some the nastier spots on the housing. Did not take very long, though maybe not needed, I feel better knowing they are smooth now.
Waiting on some small parts to come in now, if they come in should be able to finish up over weekend.
Have had these for awhile, will be nice to see them actually go into the truck. This is the other reason I went to the effort of making it so can have full steering back again.
The Moser Max Shafts and Yukon super joints are all still in very good condition. Very little wear, Installed since 2007/2008, Will work great re-purposed in the other axle.
