Dodge Repair: Differential specs
QuestionIt's been twenty years since I rebuilt a differential so the 2006 Dodge Dakota SLT with a 9.25 differential I am rebuilding is a little unfamiliar to me, I need to know what the pinion nut torque is on it to pereload the compression sleeve and what he back lash is on the ring gear. No one around this area even knows what Prussian blue dye is let alone carry it. I can check the wear pattern in other ways so that isn't a problem, I just need to know the yoke torque and backlash, could you please help me?
