I started watching some YouTube videos. It doesn’t look “terribly” difficult. Looks like it may take some patience to get it near perfect. I’d imagine it would be much easier that my rear end is out of the truck and be placed on a bench?

Looks like the most important part is setting the tolerances with shims? I found this video but the most important parts got left out by corrupted video....as the author says.

Mike c...so if I were to change gears to 4.11, I’d need to change both the larger gear and the on that hooks to the driveshaft?
