what do you use? has anyone tried liquid Teflon on yoke splines ?

yoke spline sealer

There is a rubber star like “washer” that should be behind the steel washer, it acts as a seal.
for a differential yoke ?
Oops sorry, you didn’t specify so I figured it was the tcase. I’ve never heard of that problem on a diff they typically are pointed above level
Permatex 80632. It has ptfe in it.
I use liquid teflon on the splines of every yoke that I install. Works great.

All good choices!!!
My fav is the Permatex though...

I have liquid Teflon so used that.
On to ring gear patern now.
I think the pinion needs to go deeper.
Any opinions?
2 different patterns 180 degrees apart

Looks like you first need to measure carrier runout if you're getting different patterns.
I measured backlash at 5 point was .005 and one spot was .004. I think the lower picture only got 2 passes while the top one has 4 or 5.
I have a .023 shim same as old. currently i have 2 shims that equal .021, I can also do .020 .019 and .018.
I am having difficulty deciding what my old pinion says, new pinion is 0. I am sure there is a 1 stamped on old pinion there is another stamped symbol that may be a - but it vertical to the 1.
So since it looks like I need to go deeper with the pinion, I must assume -1 on old. According to Bill Vista i need to subtract .001, would .001 make much difference ? Would .002 be to much?

Pinion doesn't look deep enough, plus the pattern looks like it could go a little deeper towards the root of the ring gear.
Ok I am going to change shim on pinion carrier. Can pinion assembly be removed with ring gear carrier installed?
Me too, and it's relatively easy to clean off.
I don't think so. They are tapered.
Yes. On the 14 bolt the pinion shims go between the pinion carrier and the housing so you do not have to remove the differential.

Wes, your 14 bolt has the adjustable rings on the carrier bearings right ???
Yes, should I back them off before pulling pinion assembly?

shouldn't need to,,, but those adjusters sure make ring gear depth and backlash easy...
Yes they do, I wish Dana did the same
