There should be no up-down play. Pull the cover & try to move the ring gear & carrier side to side. There should be no play there either. Get some gear marking compound & check the gear contact paterns. Compare it to the shop manual chart. If it is not right move the carrier in or out by loosening the adjuster on one side & tightening on the other. Keep experimenting till you get the best pattern than snug the adjusters up & put the locks back in. The amount of backlash is not important unless it is way out of spec.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
