You nailed it. Felt great finishing it yesterday. It all makes sense now... the crush sleeve, the backlash, the shims etc... It took us a long time, but I think the next one will go much faster.

If you did yours on the ground I give tons of credit!! No way would I want to do that without a lift.

Nice work. I see a lot of GM diffs with that exact issue. Hopefully from here on, you'll be trouble-free.

Really? Its like the inner race was falling apart but everything else looked fine. We used All new parts, including the Carrier... so it should be good. Crazy thing is it only had 75k on it.

Yep. Seen inner race do that, outer race, and/or the bearing rollers. Very common.

I believe it’s good to know all the inner workings, if your going to play hard.
Yeah doing it without a lift adds a new element to it. The hardest parts with limited space was setting the races and torquing the pinon nut. 🤪

When we were looking at houses we were looking for a place with a pool. We ended up moving into a subdivision with a community pool. It's a block up from hour house so not far at all. The HOA fee is high compared to others but I figured I'd spend that or more in monthly maintenance and constant refilling during the summer. Plus it includes a gardener in the front..haha.
 
I spent the holiday weekend pulling the engine and trans out of the tow rig. Trans is on its way to Monster to be built, and the new engine is about ready to go back in.

And I decided to role the dice and give the 3/8” drive Earthquake XT battery impact a try. So far so good. We’ll see how it holds up over time.
