7.3 N/A Cold Air Intake Duct
Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I am searching for a stock intake duct as well. I’ve struck out at the local yards, and the few I have found online are pretty expensive, probably due to the shipping costs. I have seen a few threads about custom setups, but I would prefer stock. Anyone...- Delly

10.25 Pinion Bearing Preload With New Bearings
I wanted to update everyone that I have been running the truck for a couple of weeks without any issues. No weird noises, grinding, growling, etc. The tooth pattern was close enough. Given that they are most likely the originals, it is good enough for me. Thank you all for the help!- Delly

That was my thought as long as I didn’t hear any crazy noises or feel any vibrations.- Delly

10.25 Pinion Bearing Preload With New Bearings
I ordered the solid spacer kit, and have it installed with the correct preload. I have the carrier installed and checked the backlash, which is 0.006”. This is not within spec in the Ford manual (0.008 - 0.015), but is within spec for the USA Standard Gear manual but I am assuming they mean...- Delly

10.25 Pinion Bearing Preload With New Bearings
Dumb question, why install without the seal? Doesn't the eliminator go on the same location of the crush sleeve, which would already be on the pinion when it is installed in the housing? Just asking because I already have the new seal installed, but I do have an extra one of those too.- Delly

Thank you - I ordered an eliminator kit and a new pinion nut. I will re-check the races and bearings once the pinion is out again.- Delly

The bearings and races in the kit were Timken, so good quality. The eliminator kit sounds like something worth while...I will start looking into that, thank you.- Delly

10.25 Pinion Bearing Preload With New Bearings
I took it out and compared it to the old sleeve - the old one is definitely deformed much more than the new one. The new one still looks like it did when I got it.- Delly

10.25 Pinion Bearing Preload With New Bearings
After having some rear end noise on my 10.25" rear, I crawled under and found that the pinion nut was loose, and the yoke had some play. I tried to just retighten the nut, but could not get the play out of the yoke. After disassembling the rear, I found that the sleeve on the yoke was wore, and...- Delly
