    AWD diff questions

    the axle have spring clips on them. Some times they fall apart. most of the time i just throw my hub puller on and slide hammer the bish out. 4wd stuff will just fall apart because the axle is 2 pieces. AWD is one solid axle on that side.

    AWD 8.25 IFS bearing question

    when the case halves are together you have to set the backlash adjusters for carrier bearing preload. which i believe is 55 ft/lb for new bearings.

    AWD 8.25 IFS bearing question

    I have built enough front diffs to knows its impossible to set them up correctly without the proper tool. You do more than just adjust backlash.

    AWD 8.25 IFS bearing question

    i will say this. i installed the extra bearing to do my backlash adjustment. the tool i got to adjust backlash was made to fit that bearing. with out the bearing in the adjuster, the tool wanted to slip out. so i tapped the bearing in, adjusted backlash then pulled it back out with a slide hammer.

    02 Yukon making awful noise!!

    I also vote to check tcase fluid. A stretched chain usually sounds a bit more rattly. But it does not hurt to check the fluid and see whats going on inside. You can also check the trans dipstick. Wipe it on a rag and see if there is a any metal on the stick. Most will stick to the magnet in...

    How to remove rear air ride suspension and only use HD rear shocks

    correct, autoride equip trucks have a very soft spring. When the air bag on my shock went out, the rear was about 1" lower than the front becuase of how soft the springs were.
