On the road again
These pictures look a lot like 2019 - Pinion seal leak - axle seal leak and a bit of gear wine added up to winter works project now in process
Time to goo um on blocks again
Diff out and apart
Time to make some measurements - Axle end play was good @ .020" each end, Backlash was larger than i had expected -Measured out to .014". The pinion bearing preload was also quite low. The pattern was higher ( toward heel) on the teeth than i wanted but these numbers help explain the small whine above 60mph.
Clutches look good -They will go back in - RH axle showing more wear on the bearing surface so 2 new axles- new axle bearings - Axle seals - Pinion - pinion seal - carrier bearings and yes Marc -- 3.73's are here for install this time !
Time for tool and parts clean up and then start the rebuilding process
