Did you get the correct Backlash and preload on the gears and pinion?
If not, Go to Randy's Ring and Pinion web site and look them up.
Do not put the axle back and drive it. You will blow it up in an hour

SeaBronc, I believe that there are thousands of personal websites like that one which are nearly impossible to search for on the web. If everyone added their favorite "secret" site to a discussion page, we'd all be in better shape. This is the best one I've found so far.

Merry Christmas,
