lonesouth:
Anyone have some free time to help me setup the gears in my front/rear axles?  I'll have everything already torn down, just need some experience on the setup.

JustaFordGuy:
I'll be tied up for the next few weekends but after that I may have some time.

lonesouth:
What's your schedule look like for the next week?

JustaFordGuy:
I never have any time on the weekend but maybe after work one day next week. What time do you get home?

lonesouth:
I got the diff put in last night.  Pre-load is 20-30 with as much torque as I could muster on the pinion nut, which is still less than 200lbs.  Backlash is .07, and the pattern looks shallow on the drive side, deep on the coast side, and perfect where the paint rubbed off on other teeth.

Pattern looks like the bottom left of the acceptable patterns picture.

I get home around 6.
