The run out is out of spec, so check the ring gear bolts for tightness. On the other hand, this is not causing any noticeable problems.Do I just need more bearing preload to straighten it up? In some digging I saw 100+ fl-lbs on the bearing adjusters to get the proper preload. I definitely did not grunt down on them that hard.
Musta not been very important stuff.Is @Pin_Head still on here? He taught me everything I’ve forgotten about differential tweaking.

Well, I couldn't leave it alone. I took the carrier out and loosened the ring gear. By the numbers I was high on one side and low on the other so I tried swapping the ring gear 180 degrees. I torqued it down in a star pattern then put it back on. Checking the range with a dial indicator on the back of the ring I was out .004". It was an improvement, but who knows if it was from just reinstalling the bearings or the ring adjustment.
I checked every tooth and everything dialed at .0065 to .009.
My pattern isvlow of center, but that's where it's going to stay.

What is that gear goo? It looks like a mechanic’s version of a Rorschach test.
