I got home at 5:30 this morning from a 920 mile trip with a 4 horse trailer attached and this afternoon I was poking around making sure the truck was still in one piece and I noticed the pinion seal/plastic guard thing didn't quite look centered. Sure enough, the pinion had some play in it, around 1/16" in either direction....
What's my next move? From what ive read, the only thing it could really be is wear in the bearings. I really can't afford to have it rebuilt, and I've never rebuilt a rear before. Can the 10.25 be rebuilt without specialized tools? I could possibly recruit some more experienced people for help with the tricky parts, but I don't know anyone with a case spreader or anything.
