I've done a DANA in a truck but it was a lot of 'huff-puff' working underneath!

If you can only 'spread the case' three times then that's a worry indeed...

Its not like a diesel head gasket with 'marks on' to show how many times its beeen done?

When you do an 8 3/4 diff, the preload is adjusted from one side and if the mesh changes you can adjust it back.

With a Dana the carrier preload is a bit 'hit and miss' with a guesstimate on side shims?

Sometimes they feel 'tight' when rotated and you lessen the load.
But they 'soften up' real quick in service and the preload goes away (with the fairies)... fan

Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero, thanx Horace!

There’s no point trying to fix stuff that ain’t broke,,, 'but if ain’t broke',,, you is not trying hard enough...
