Exactly. Being on call for decades, and having automated systems that page or text you when something's up, makes one turn off email notifications for such things as forum updates. Mt.net is an on-demand service for me, not a push service. The one useful exception is the tagging feature.

I regeared my friends dana 44 in his mud truck. That was a freaking pain in the *** I probably had over 10 hours in that thing. Didn't help that I had to do it twice since we din't know a tooth was cracked on the ring gear. Does that have a crush sleeve on the pinion or do you have to set bearing preload with shims?

Crush sleeve is easy. With shims every time you change the pinion depth shims you have to reset the preload shims. According to that pic it looks like the pinion needs to moved out/away from the diff(smaller pinion shim) and the diff might need to be a hair closer to the pinion (move a shim from one side of the diff to the other).

Its a ford 9" So pinion depth is set with pinion carrier shims. Which I only have 2 of. And neither is the correct size. Moving it side to side is as simple as tightening and loosening the bearing retainers.
Its way easier than a dana.
Some guy offered to send me a bunch of shims. So now those are in the mail. I'll finish this...someday.
