I am installing 4.88s in an Isuzu D44. Right now I have .008 BL. I don't need a hammer to get the carrier in. I have no shims for pinion depth. There is a washer at the head of the pinion. If I needed to move the pinion out. I would have to get rid of the washer (it was in the original install) and use the slinger ring that came in the install kit. I would rather not do that, the slinger is flippin huge! My mechanic friend and I have our opinions on the pattern, but are currios what anyone else thinks.
So here you go. We did pattern 1, then moved the ring 180 and did pattern 2
pattern 1 drive side
pattern 2 drive side
pattern 1 coast side
pattern 2 coast side
It's late and I have to go to bed, but I am currious to see what you guys think in the morning. Thanks
P.S. Off the top of your head, does anyone know the pinion nut torque using shims. I went with 250 ft/lbs but not sure. This is for a D44 again. Thanks
