when refering the "blacklash" in regards to a rearend, is the the set
distance between teh ring and pinion? what is it exactly. Stupid question im

Backlash is a measure of how tightly the ring gear meshes with the
pinion. You should be able to rotate the ring gear back and forth about
ten thousandths of an inch without turning the pinion. Without enough
backlash the gears will jam and fail when they heat up and expand. Too
much backlash will cause the gears to howl and wear prematurely.
