well in the six years i've owned this damn lude i still dont have a helms manual

yesterday while i was out tuning the new motor the rear motor mount broke off the tranny case and now im swapping out the bellhousing.

can someone tell me what the differential preload should be? i know how to check/adjust it, just not sure what it needs to be.

thanks guys

anyone?

 

The '97 manual says 12-23 in.-lbs.

 

Hey, thanks man.

I went into sears earlier today and the smallest torque wrench that measured in inch pounds only went down to 25 so thats another problem.

Anyone know where to get one that reads smaller?

 

I use a beam-type inch pound wrench for adjusting diff. preload.

They're a wee bit harder to find but they're out there.

 

Cool, i've found a few online. I guess I'm just gonna have to drop a little cash. I found a beam type for about 55 and a ratcheting clicker for around 150.
