I was feeling ambitious and wanted to get dirty last weekend so I serviced the front axle and replaced the trunion bearings. When I was doing the pinion seal I found some bad news . The pinion gear had way more movement than I like so see so here is my question. In order to minimize potential damage to the ring and pinion can I remove the front drive line and drive it with the center dif locked (I have installed a dif. Lock switch) in high range with out messing any thing up?
I realize that the front axle will still be spinning and the ring and pinion will be turning but wont be loaded.
I won’t have time to work on the front dif. until Saturday and need to drive it to work a couple days, about 45 miles each way at highway speeds. Thanks in advanced for the advice.
