Re: Dana 30 gear noise
Okay, you're describing what I assumed to be the situation.
How am I to measure the preload, I don't have the fancy tool shown in the
shop manual? I just have a regular in-lbs torque wrench - can I repeatedly
lower the setting on that until I reach one that doesn't "click"?

Or set it to the around the middle of the spec ( say 30-32 in-lb) and
tighten the pinion until it clicks.

Re: Dana 30 gear noise
A dial type torque wrench would be better for this sort of thing.
