I'll bet your first times you had a book or someone beside you teaching you. once again these guys don't. so they need to know the correct way to do things! A then you try to insult the rest of us for giving him the correct info buy telling him we are non mechanics ( by the way I have worked for a caterpillar dealer for the last 15 years and put my fair share of diffs together and always use the proper set up procedure) and then insult are intelligence on the way we spell, that is why we are mechanics not English teachers.
You need to know these guys are asking for the correct way the book says to do this! that is what we gave them. Do not bash us for that. do like your mother says if you do not have something nice to say, say nothing at all.
Yes the statement in bold is correct. The guy with the experience has all the answers you need. In the 10 years of specializing in trannies and rear ends I repaired a couple hundred at least.

Okay let's drop the insults. It does nothing to help the OP with his problem. Concede or agree to disagree but let's move on.

Okay now the other question I have. Carrier shimming. I was planning on once I got the pinion settled I was going going to tackle the carrier. My plan was to install the carrier, slap some yellow paint on a few teeth, check the tooth contact area, adjust shims accordingly and then button it all up.

Not to over simply it but...is that pretty much it?

Paint some prussian blue or red lead on the ring gear and check the contact patch. A proper contact patch will take up most of the middle section of the face of the tooth but you can probably see a contact patch chart by looking it up in google. Some motor manuals have that chart also. The contact patch is more important than the backlash. Hopefully you won't have to shim the pinion gear.

Here's a good guide. I had some others bookmarked but can't seem to find them at the moment.
