ADJUST THE DIFF
As you tighten the diff bolt, you will notice the T-nut
ears moving closer to the bottom of the diff hub slot.
This compreses the spring behind the T-nut. The spring
should be fully compressed at the same time the T-nut
reaches the end of the slot.
CAUTION:
Pay close attention to
feeling when the spring is fully compressed.
Do not overtighten
the bolt.
When you feel the spring fully compressed, loosen the diff bolt 1/8
of a turn. No more, no less. Your diff should feel smooth when
turning the hubs in opposite directions.
After you have driven the truck once, recheck the diff adjustment.
