[QUOTE="big dad, post: 16388282, member: 100697"] Couple points of interest about your concerns, my first thing to check regarding he backlash would be to check the side gears (spider gears) for excessive wear and looseness, with that many miles on them you can be sure they're worn along with the cups. Secondly, be very careful when spreading that case, if you exeed .030" you can spring it and it's game over. It's been my experience that with a new gearset the proper backlash on an 8.8 is .012-.015 not below .012. I've set a bunch of them up when I was still wrenching and for whatever reason they like the aforementioned backlash better as far as noise goes. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
