Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Went to put the carrier in and after inspecting the right side shims they look like they were beat in with a punch and sledge hammer left was a thick solid spacer and it was cracked . I had noticed that the backlash was very excessive when I took it apart . I'm thinking it had slop the carrier bearings and someone beat a few shims to the right side tightning the bearings but causing the excessive backlash and put strain on the left bearing which finally failed.
So I bought a shim pack today and going to assemble tomorrow. Did the pinion bearings today ,the old ones looked good but better safe than sorry .
