Re: rear play
Hope it's just water you mean....
You might have no damage yet, just some wear.
I would fill it and drive it to see before ripping anything apart.
The inch of rotation is normal.

Re: rear play
The slop is normal, and it's not probably tied to the R & P. The r & p may
be making the noise but the play is in the axle and spider gears. If the r
& P had enough slop to give you an inch of movement it would be going into
gear with a hell of a bang. Ring and pinion noise is usualy characterized
by a whine under either coast or load, but not usually both and it may be
more prominent at one speed than another. It is not usually caused by
excessive space between crown and pinion, it's caused by incorrect pinion
depth, the gear pattern not being centered on the tooth of the crown. If
the whine is constand and increases with speed but doesn't change with
coast/load it's quite likely a bearing; wheel, axle, carrier, pinion.

be making the noise but the play is in the axle and spider gears. If the r
& P had enough slop to give you an inch of movement it would be going into
gear with a hell of a bang. Ring and pinion noise is usualy characterized
by a whine under either coast or load, but not usually both and it may be
more prominent at one speed than another. It is not usually caused by
excessive space between crown and pinion, it's caused by incorrect pinion
depth, the gear pattern not being centered on the tooth of the crown. If
the whine is constand and increases with speed but doesn't change with
coast/load it's quite likely a bearing; wheel, axle, carrier, pinion.

Re: rear play
Thanks guys, what diff oil would you recommend??? One mechanic I've
spoken to has suggested 75/140??? never used that before myself, but
this is the first time I've changed the fluid since putting the
truetrac's in.
Cheers
