[QUOTE="tallnate, post: 394987, member: 3217"] I really think that proper gear setup to exact spec is the key to making a D60 last. Correct shim spacing for pinion depth and preload is crucial as well as near equal shim spacing on both sides of the carrier. The mistake most people make is they just set the pinion and then shim the ring gear to the pinion and call it "good enough." It takes time and a willingness to pull the carrier out numerous times and fine tune shim adjustments to get it just right. There's plenty of people who have been beating on their same 60 front for years with no failures. Bubba Bacon comes to mind.. he's been beating on the same 60 in his big block purple buggy for 5 or 6 years now with no failures. [/QUOTE]
