Definitely super close. Pinion shims make big changes using small amounts. So .037 to .045 is a big jump but, you are spot on with first too shallow and .45 looking a tad deep. Try taking out .003 to get closer to .042 and see what that does. Backlash is good.
Clearly you are missing the sarcasm is some of these responses.
And you are right, guess I don’t have enough experience with this off road stuff. Best wishes to you and your Dana30 👍🏼
Just because you can doesn't mean you should :ROFLMAO: Cleary you can but it will always be a ticking time bomb, if you actually wheel it. Good chance the carrier and/or spider gears will blow before twisting splines.
