The painful itching and swelling continue with this hemorrhoid and my truck's rear end. I put new bearings and races in for the pinion. I bought two of each pinion bearings and made me set up bearings.
I torqued pinion nut to about 130 and set the preload to about 16, bout midway of the 14-19 in their specs. I got gear patterns in the pictures I sent and BL about 8, within their 6-10 specs.
I used the CSE this time and got the preload set and gear patterns and BL
set.
Put it all back together and have only run it on stands so far. When I first started running it it didn't make any noise the first couple of minutes but then it started back to the whirring noise which I've included for everyone's video and audio pleasure. I noticed the seal leaking at the front of driveshaft so I'm replacing it now and I'm gon drive it some to see if it's the same going down the road. I'm thinking it probably will be.
I'm starting to wonder if there's some truth to the US Standard Gear sets being Yukon's rejects.
