I'll be installing a truetrac in the next few weeks. Truck has 170,000 miles on it. Should I go ahead and order the carrier bearing and races, or check them out once I get the diff cover off? Money's kinda tight now and if i could reuse the factory bearings that would help me out, but I don't want to cut corners now and cost me more money down the road. What is everyone's opinion?

:whs: With that many miles I would not risk it. If one fails in a few thousand miles and damages the diff you will want to jump off a bridge.

Okay I went ahead and ordered the carrier bearings. Now I need the specs for backlash, preload, etc. and how much do I torque the ring bolts to?
