Does anyone know what to set the backlash to on the 8"rearend. I'm going to put in a locker soon(whenever it apears on my door step) In my chilton it does not cover anything about the ring gear or the pinion or any of that. it just shows how to take out the carrier,axle etc.

from www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/gear_setup/ Toyota factory spec is 0.005" to 0.007", while most aftermarket gear manufacturers seem to recommend 0.008" to 0.012". I always try to shoot for about 0.008". It is generally not good for any backlash measurement to be less than the specified setup number (etched on the side of the ring gear). It is also a good idea to watch backlash variation at 3 to 5 places around the ring gear. Overall, the backlash readings should not vary by more than about 0.002". |
