Tech questions...
Finally have time to put the diff back today.
3.92 rear 1500 5.9 auto 4x4. New clutch packs, carrier bearings and races.
#1) what has everyone set, or aimed to set backlash to? I've read a span from 0.003 to 0.009...
I have it in my head .005 to .008 is acceptable..
#B) After its reassembled, is there anything I can do to verify its good before I install the axle back in the truck? Or after its back in the truck but before I've started up and test driven? Is there a way to know you're not gonna have carnage in the first drive?
#4) What an I looking for to know I'm safe to take it for a rip? Is it always obvious right away that you've made a mistake, or do some errors take time to present themselves?
#4b) anyone open the diff back up after a few trips to have a look? Any point to doing so?
98 ram 1500 magnum
5.9 gasser auto 4x4
Thanks ahead..again...
