i dont remember what you said, something about subtracting and adding .010".
backlash is .008" which is what the instructions with the gears said to have.
pinion preload is about 25 in lbs. which is the average between the new and old bearing ranges.
i had to hammer the carrier in with the dead blow, so the carrier bearing preload is probably good.
and i took pictures of the pattern
what else?
sounds good and you still suck
peel out and see if it holds :gigem:Quote:

be sure to use the purple primer before you glue it in.
atleast you won't have to worry about Clarke trying to "weld" on it. :D
It's schedule 40 right???
oh, and make sure to use pvc and not cpvc, that stuff is crap
new antiwrap bar and steering links done.
now the debate is where to mount the ram. i think the best place is build a mount on the axle tube, but it could go on the cover. if it was on the cover, would that make it more prone to leak?
Unless you have a HD aftermarket one, I would recommend on the axle tube. You'll want some heavy welds to really hold that thing in place. You can't put emough heat on a stock cover, IMO to get a HD connection. It also seems lower than I would want to run mine. Mine is on the top of the axle with the tie rod behind the axle. Not much to hit.
it should be on the passenger side axle tube far enough over to get the tie rod mount in the middle of the tie rod.
yea, thats where i was going to mount it if i put it on the tube. i like the idea of putting it on the tube better than the cover
the antiwrap in the front or rear? I am looking at ways to mount the one on front of the beast one of these days.

Here's mine, mounted to the tube. I was trying to accomplish these things:
Really solid mounts, made my own tower on one end, tabs they sent with it boxed in on the tierod end.
Parallel and close to the Tierod.
Mounted as close to the middle of the Tierod as possible.
Make sure there was no way it was going to bind (why I think they break)
What are y'all's thoughts on tying the "tower" into the spring plate on that side?
