Working on a Dana 44, setting up an ARB. Here is my first pattern. Pinion depth at recommend dimension per gear manufacturer. And backlash at .0075 - .008.

Cherry!! nice pattern and backlash is right on!! Been a ford technician for 30+ years and that's a good set up, did it take you long to get to that point??

First try. And my first time attempting a gear set up. Chock it up to beginners luck I guess.

Did you set pre load on the pinion bearings??

Yes, I have it adjusted at 18 inch pounds with the pinion nut to torque at 115 foot pounds.
