Q: this is completely wrong. since the crush sleeve is located between the two bearings the amount the crush sleeve is actually crushed by the two bearings being forced together does affect the pinion depth. it may look that way but no... the crush sleeve is only there to apply pre-load. in fact when measuring pinion depth it is done without the crush sleeve installed. since the rear bearings race is in a fixed position and the bearing is in a fixed position on the pinion pressed up against the shims which are up against the back side of the gear how can the depth of the pinion gear be altered by compressing the crush sleeve wheres the movement occurring that would change the depth if this were not the case there would be no need to set the bearing pre-load before taking measurements. and in fact pinion depth measurement is done without preload. when you think about what bearing preload actually is you will understand. yes - its the amount of pressure being exerted onto the bearing. with 50 pounds or 500 pounds of pressure on a bearing/race the distance from the outer edge of the bearing to the outer edge of the race is going to be the same. .

run diagnostics on the unit with the key on-key off 3 times routine and see if the bulb lights up when all of the dash lights come on. hi all! got a great 1996 dodge ram 1500 sport extended cab. seems to be great but when i shift into 4x4 i get no dash light indication. it sure seems to be in four wheel drive but no dash indication. called dodge and they want to harge me over $50.00 do diagnose it. i figured somebody out there must have a clue to tell me what to check before i go pay the dealership lots of $$$ to fix something that may be simple. any ideas thanks! .
