yep there some good pointers,,,, at the end of the day the concensus was set the carrier preload by feal,,, so what i did was set the carrier up with out the pinion tightend down on the side adusters until it there was enough tension on bearings that would allow carrier to spin free about once around,,then i measured tourque with home made spanner wrench and t wrench. set my pinion depth to spec and 25inlb rotational tourque,, set carrier in tightened down to my calculated spec and recommended back lash,,, now ive got a 8.25 with 4.10 ratio spinnin on a detroit trutrac,,,,frons guna get a elocker.,,,,

Glad you were able to get it done. Your set up is headed in the same direction I'm going.
