Sean,

Think about this, if it is loose, then the pinion can get a running
start at the ring gear, and hit
it harder. Gee what will that do. It will impact harder, and have a
tendency to strip the gears.
That is the only real issue with 8.75 rears anyway, weak gears. So go
get your pig, and have
someone else set it up correctly. The only reason he wants to set it up
loose, is because he
is too lazy to take it apart again and put the proper shims in the
pinion.

Hi Sean,
Yes, I think he sounds shady.  I recently installed a sure grip so I was
in the shop manual and it has only one way to rebuild a SureGrip.  See
if he owns a dial indicator and torque wrench.  :-) Regards, Ken

Subject: differential: loose or tight?

I've got this guy who is rebuilding a sure grip unit he has, and then 
he's going to put it in my 1968 8 3/4 rear.  He says he is going to set 
it up "loose," like a four speed car, instead of "tight," like an 
automatic car.  He says that way, I won't tear it apart.  For this and 
other reasons, I'm starting to think this guy is a little shady.  Is he 
right?  I thought you just rebuilt the clutches and installed it.  Isn't

there only one way to do all that properly?  Thanks!
