I have a D44 stripped down and will be ready to start re-assembly before long. Most of the tech I have read says to start with the shims from the old setup and then go from there. Everything in my front end will be new except the carrier bearing caps. Semms like that would be a good idea if you were only making a gear change, but what about in my situation, with everything being new, would you remove the shims from the old parts and start there?
This is my first setup on a D44, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
I am putting in 4.30 gears, new open carrier with detroit ez locker, all new bearings, races, seals, yoke, etc. Using yukon axles and yukon super joints.
Purchased everything from Complete Offroad. I bought a Richmond gear video also in hopes to pick up some tips, but it got smashed in the shipping.
