Are you guys kidding? Why can't you reuse a pinion bearing with 3600 miles on it?
Are you sure the guy who responded didn't say a new pinion nut? The nut it not supposed to be reused. I've only ever reused them when only replacing the pinion seal.
I wouldn't replace a single bearing if I had it done at Ford (with 3600 miles that is). They use a totally different method for figuring pinion depth. All you need then is a crush sleeve, pinion nut, ring bolts, and both shim kits. Its generally called a minimum install kit.
Now if I were doing it myself, I would eat the cost of a master install kit because I would shave a hair from inside of the old pinion and carrier bearings and use them for mock-up.
Smok][n, you didn't reshim or use a torque wrench?!?! Its just impossible that you have a good pattern. I bet you just can't hear them whine over your other mods. Can you touch the diff after driving a few miles or is it really hot?
