Anyone running one of these? Since I have the stock housing, but Auburn LSD what part # shud I be getting - GM 10bolt 8.2-8.5"? My truck has 5 link and Eibach sways, so wonder if it'll fit? Last, the load fasteners for the bearing caps...how do you know how much to tighten them? I'm sharp as a bag of marbles when it comes to this stuff!

 

The locker you are running doesn't matter. Just get the one for the 8.5 -8.6. I don't remember the model number.

I recommend getting the stud kit while you are at it.

You just snug the jack screws down. Run them down till they touch and maybe another 1/4 turn.

 

Thnx! They only have a 8.2"-8.5"...so guess thats the one. R/

 

I don't know where your sway bar crosses the housing but you may want to get the Low profile model. I did and didn't really need it.

Model # 1807A

Crosses right behind the cover...I'll measure the clearance from the OEM cover and ask T/A what they suggest. Thnx again for ur help!

 

5 ft/lbs. Then tighten jam-nut. Here's a link for install instructions.

Also gonna recommend you buy a low-profile cover for your app.

 

Interesting...I'v never used the GM additive, and Auburn says specifically not to use synth. I was curious about the gasket too...its got silicone on it now, and wondered what was better? R/

 

Follow Auburns recommended lubrication. Use a gasket, just make sure its doesn't cover the lube holes on the side.

 

Roger, can u pic ***** a bit, & post up your TA cover?
If possible, in a way, we can see the clearance u have in your app?

 

Haha! My name's Roger too, so here's my pic.



Hard to know how close it will be to his track-bar though....
