OK, so I got this axle used, never thought to check the pinion nut torque.
Just got it installed, drive for about 5 miles and it sounded like a coffee can of marbles in the rear under coast.
Jacked it up, checked the proper operation of the detroit, it's working properly. Then I noticed that the pinionwa s moving as I was testing the detroit. The nut is hand tight.
WHat's the torque supposed to be on this? I will of course be popping the diff cover and checking for gear damage.
