Well, here's an update on my rear axle swap, so far the 12 bolt is in the car but now I'm at a stand still as it's too frickin cold out to work on it right now. The current problem is still the carrier spacing is still wrong on the setup as one axle is our too far and the other is in too far, so the carrier pin is offset which is a problem. When it warms up I am pulling the other 12 bolt out and am going to do a depth setting of the pinions on the 2 rear ends. I suspect this is where the problem is. I am pretty sure the person may have put the wrong pinion bearing race in the 12 bolt so it may be sitting to low. I did open up the 3.31 12 bolt and everything is right in there, so I figure I have a good starting place to go from. Mother nature needs to co-operate so I can go outside to play meckinic again.
