Re: Dana 30 gear noise
The pinion nut is some sort of stover nut, but it's been re-used a couple of
times. Should I be putting some sort of Loc-Tite on it? Red or Blue?

Hi Peter,
I never have, but then I've heard of many that have loosened. If
you have pinion bearing play the the yoke you have is not sliding up
hard against the bearing like the previous one did, as the crush sleeve
separating the bearings is naturally in-between them. Have you hit it
with an impact, and walked it on down? being careful in feeling with the
other hand for when it begins to snug up.
