Re: TA_C10: Stage 1

Been a while since I have posted any updates, time to catch up!

Got my Detroit Truetrac installed. Nothing different than everyone else who installs these things. Used the freezer over night to shrink the carrier, didn't need heat on the ring gear, slipped right on no problem.

Installed new axle seals. Used my new Harber Freight 20lb press to push on bearings. It was cheaper to buy the press than to get them done twice. Shops trying to make a million dollars these days...

Wasn't able to use OE thick shims, carrier didn't go back in, so I used the shim kit and used a dial indicator to check backlash. G2G. Then I ended up hitting the backroads for some fun to test it out
