Diff Question: Carrier bearing replacement
kvom:
Moser Dana 60 carrier bearings are $65 /pair, so I wonder what other parts add up to $300. New bearings need shims, but those are cheap.

I have built many rear ends and transmissions thru the years and my question is,and this is just so I understand your problem,your saying you have a lot of slop in the rear end. Is this in the axle shafts or the driveline? If it's in the driveshaft the Carrier bearings would not have anything to do with that pitted or not. If there is slop in the driveshaft,lots of right and left rotation,then that would be a pinion issue not being set properly and should have been making a lot of noise. If it's in the axle shafts then that is most likely spider gears or axle splines. Of course it's hard to diagnois something without putting your hands on the chunk (rearend)

Good morning Bear,
The slack is in the locker. I've sent a request to Detroit (or their parent company, can't remember) for info on this.
That said, on the bearings, I've done my research. I can get new carrier bearings and races for ~$60 bucks, both of em. All I need is a press but I don't mind paying someone a few bucks for that. Should be able to do this myself for under $100 I think. Depending on what Detroit says, might even be able to actually FIX IT this time while the 3rd member is out!

Drive line service is high and always will be.......but do stand behind there work from my experiences w them
I would do carrier bearings in a third that was out for 75$ labor......and I'm a reputable shop in most circles
But the "slop" you speak of is either the Detroit being a Detroit and you don't like it or there is another problem
