Thanks for all the advice. I tightened up the nut until there was no play, and then lined up the paint marks left behind on the nut and pinion. Worst case, I was off by one full turn of the nut. But it seems like I'm dead on. Took the truck for a spin, no leaks, no vibration. Appreciate all the help.
