I believe the thrust bolt is turned in until you hit the ring gear and then you back it out 1 1/2 turns or somewhere in that neighborhood, before locking the nut down to hold it in place.
Your also gonna need to know the backlash for the ring and pinion, plus youll need the correct thickness of shims for the pinion to engage the ring gear properly and get the correct tooth contact.
Theres also a specific way to turn the adjusters for the side bearings to get the proper tension before locking it all down.
Just an FYI. Got any pics of the truck?
