[QUOTE="Snoopy49, post: 15072726, member: 138649"] According to the factory manual, there are no shim packs, just different size one piece shims, that are hammered into position with a special installation tool. No way are you going to be able to install a .006" shim using the factory method. A spreader would be the only option and I don't know if the axle housing is setup for a spreader. The $18.79 price of each shim would make it very costly for an individual or small shop to have a large enough assortment of shims to accomplish the job. This may be why so many people are having a problem with noise after a gear swap. The differential bearing preload is not being set correctly. Here is the factory procedure. [ATTACH]53548.vB[/ATTACH] Here is a spreader used on a Dana 60 housing, the thing is huge and heavy. [ATTACH]53553.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
