This sounds like a good plan. BTW your shims and a diff magnet are in the mail.I'm using a case spreader. The case is spread to .015" and the carrier requires a light tap with a rubber mallet to seat it. The pinion is at .024" right now, but I still need to put the .020" oil baffle back in. So what I'll probebly do is run the baffle and a .003" shim which will total .023" (.001" less than I have it now). Then I'll adjust the backlash back to .008 and call it good. I'll post some pics of the final pattern when I get to it. Thanks for your help.
