Hey everyone,
I’ve been hearing rear end whine in my truck. 137k miles so most likely time for a time for a rebuild.
Has anyone done this themselves and have any pointers? This is the one thing I’ve never done.
Any easy way to check for clutch wear? Typical mileage they last?
A few videos / threads I found mentioned reusing the pinion shims resulted in the best alignment for them, since shims go to casing not gears.
Found the below videos for reference.
Nothing I’ve viewed seems difficult so wanted to check with some veterans for the nuances that may not show up in a vid.
Thanks in advance.
