Installation Instructions:

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is turned off. Lift the vehicle to access the differential.
2. Remove Old Gears: Drain the differential fluid and remove the cover. Disassemble the old ring and pinion gears from the Dana 60 axle.
3. Install New Pinion Gear: Install the new pinion gear, ensuring it is properly meshed with the ring gear. Adjust the pinion depth and bearing preload as required.
4. Install Ring Gear: Attach the new ring gear to the differential carrier, making sure it aligns correctly with the pinion gear.
5. Check Gear Mesh: Rotate the gears by hand to check the mesh pattern. Adjust as necessary to ensure smooth, even engagement.
6. Reassemble Differential: Reassemble the differential housing, replacing seals and gaskets as needed.
7. Add Fluid: Refill the differential with the recommended gear oil and replace the differential cover.
8. Test Drive: After installation, take the vehicle for a test drive to ensure proper gear engagement and performance.

Maintenance Tips:

• Regular Fluid Changes: Change the differential fluid at regular intervals to ensure smooth operation and prevent gear wear.
• Check for Leaks: Inspect the differential housing regularly for any signs of leaks around the seals or cover.
• Listen for Unusual Noises: Any whining or grinding noises could indicate a misalignment or wear. Address these issues promptly to prevent further damage.
• Inspect Gears: Periodically inspect the ring and pinion gears for signs of wear or damage, especially after off-road excursions or towing heavy loads.
