excitment is building...
tightened the pinion, put the differential cover back on, filled it
with oil, new battery.
roared to life after a two year break. started right up!
It sounds good in the driveway. no odd noises, seems good.
Tomorrow I'll fix the gas leak and take it around the block.
Thanks for all the advice, and the luck!

Cool, it's nice to get lucky. I was on mine also, it's doing fine 7000
miles later, but I knew the bearing had damage, I could feel it. While
mine was open, I had them put all new bearings inside because they were
vintage 1986 with 'some' play and it's a nice Dana 44.

When you come back, ------ a bunch of newspaper so you can find all those
other leaks from dried out seals after setting for 2 years - it's gonna be
pissed at you.
Seriously, give some hard thought to the gas in th tank. It's going to be
pretty bad after setting, so consider either draining it (if it was full)
or just adding a bottle of cleaner and a full tank of good gas before
driving it far - hate to see you back in a week or so asking about how to
clean injectors and replace fuel filters! Oil change wouldn't hurt,
either, but that can wait until you're sure it's going to run OK.

pissed at you.
Seriously, give some hard thought to the gas in th tank. It's going to be
pretty bad after setting, so consider either draining it (if it was full)
or just adding a bottle of cleaner and a full tank of good gas before
driving it far - hate to see you back in a week or so asking about how to
clean injectors and replace fuel filters! Oil change wouldn't hurt,
either, but that can wait until you're sure it's going to run OK.

When you come back, ------ a bunch of newspaper so you can find all those
other leaks from dried out seals after setting for 2 years - it's gonna be
pissed at you.
