well i went to harbor frieght to get a press and there out of stock,then went to northern tool and the harbor frieght press looks better than northern press witch surprised me. so i have to wait either way might see if summit sells one since i have to buy ring and pinion anyway.

gears are showing signs of wear and the pinion bearings are toast. i ordered my gears from summit just know for the rear. i already have the crush sleeve eliminator kit here.
i have my press on the way. now i need the installation kit and front gears going to put 373 front and rear and bearings front and rear carrier and pinion bearings. not looking forward to it. but will like the end result.
sad part is the rear gears are going to be Richmond and the front will be motive Richmond dont make a 373 for the d44 according to summit

sad part is Richmond doesn't make a 373 for dana 44(for the front diff that is),according to summit. I will have to get motive gear or us standard

12 bolt has a crush sleeve but I think they have an updated preload crushless spacer that you can use opposed to that now. I know for sure there was one for one of the axles but just can not recall exactly. You might check with a drive train specialist and see.
