somewhere on here there used to be a link to an 2001 dodge service manual
do a search...and then read the directions
the preload means while you are spinning the yoke on the diff without the carior in it would read such and such inch pounds...inch pounds aint much ....and then re-tighten the pinion nut if they are not enough/or to loose ..and you cant unloosen a crush sleeve...hence the name it crushes...kinda like a disformed piece of pipe that is supposed to crush at the right pininion nut torque
