Installing a new set of Yukon 4.56 gears and an eaton E-locker into a front Dana 60.
Using old carrier bearings, outer pinion bearing, and inner pinion race for set up.
Specs:
Inner pinion shim: .053
outer pinion shim: .042
Pinion preload: 10 in/lbs
NRGS shim: .064
RGS shim: .071
Backlash: .005
What do you think?
Also, carrier preload is a bit low (it doesnt take much to get it back in the housing, and I used all the shims that came with the kit, do i need to buy more, or should I be good when I use the new bearings...)
All pics are from same try, just different lighting and different places on the ring gear.
-drag on gears was about 45 in/lbs during rotation for pattern check (dial torq wrench, measuring rotating resistance)
Thanks!!!
