Hi,
I am switching my carrier and ring gear assy over to my new rear end case. In the old case, the backlash was .010 (final drives removed, pinion held still). In the new case, the value is .014. I have the service manual which specifies .004 to .008 ideal, but allowable up to .016. I tryed to move shims from the right side to the left side but they are different OD's. I have to check with the dealer on availability of shims, but in the meantime, thought I'd inquire what values others have had good/bad experience running.
thanks, Carl
