im going to pull it out and check it all. new bearings/races i set the pinion preload to 25 in/lbs with a solid spacer, we'll see. the pattern did not look good to me when i set them up no matter what i did. ended up setting the pinion depth to what was stamped on the gear. i sent pics to motive and they said looks good run it.

...Yeah its so much easier doing it by pinion depth, no guess work. I did it that way and checked the pattern because the guy at motive gear wanted to see it.
