9.25 Rear Diff Bearing Preload Torque
Need to do my rear bearings and possibly ring and pinion. It's howling a little under light acceleration and while maintaining speed.
03 1500 5.7 4x4. Not 100% on the ratio.
When I did the bearings and clutches a couple of years ago, I think I ran into a couple of problems. First, the original(?) crush sleeve that came out was quite a bit longer than the new one ended up being after the torque and backlash was set.
However, I checked the pattern before sealing it up, and it seemed good, so I'll have to see if there's much glitter in the oil when I take it apart since there would have to be a difference in pinion depth between how I found it, and how I left it. If that makes sense.
But secondly, I'm pretty sure I had the wrong torque values for the carrier bearing preload.
Can anyone confirm what it's supposed to be?
