[QUOTE="Brian, post: 432878, member: 19943"] I don't think so since it was a greasy mess of an engine. I am just having fun working my way thru it. I pulled the rear apart because I thought it was just a bad pinion bearing. Come to find out someone had been in it already. Gear oil was super clean and all bearings looked great. Ring gear had some chipped teeth though. That was my reason for replacing. In pulling it apart the yoke nut came loose no effort and once off pinion fell into the housing. outer bearing slides off the shaft and the crush sleeve was never crushed. I am no expert, but someone did not know what they were doing. All together now with .008" backlash. I am leaving it that way and will recheck later. All I need now is to add the gear oil and put the drive shaft back in, but have had enough for today. You don't think I could have a 3.07 rear and something else up front? I better compare them.
