Default Re: D44 R&P pattern

I've never built a D44 but, I've built a lot of 9 inch Ford, Toyota and Caterpillar from small to massive. That's a nice pattern. Unless there's something about a D44 I don't know about.

I agree, it would be a good 9 inch or 8.8 inch pattern.

Buttoned up the case tonight. Installed the seal and put a little anaerobic sealer on the splines of the flange. Torqued down the nut using some red loctite. The only thing that concerned me some was I torque tested the pinion again after buttoning everything up and got a reading of around 25 in/lbs. I would think that would be normal since now I am also getting resistance on the carrier bearing preload (a sign they are not too loose) and also having to overcome resistance at the seal. Opinions on that from you guys, my thinking logical?

I assume you are reading the torque while the pinion is rotating. 25 in. lb. rotating torque is probably on the lower side of factory specs for new bearings and seal drag but should be OK.

Roger that, yes the 25 in/lbs is after it gets started.
