Hybrid Diff Instructions for Review

[TexasSP]

Having never used these how much is required (if any) in reference to shimming?

Other than that it's a really nice write up. Simple and clean with good pictures, sentences short and to the point. I like it!

I've neve built one of these either, but I've done stockers.

1) I have no idea how to shim a diff, or what parts to buy to do this shimming. Some instructions on this would be nice.
2) "Assemble the differential according to the manufacturer’s instructions." Ummm....in this case, RCM is the manufacture isn't it? If a customer has a problem, they should and would call RCM first. So the instructions should be included with the diffs.
3) You reference some parts in your instructions by their street name. But in the diagrams and pictures they have part numbers, but no names. You should be consistent with this. Example - "flange bearings" must be the C8020's in the diagram?

Just some thoughts so far....

I'll try to find a link or guide to insert...

Not really they are hot bodies diffs in RCM outers - The only difference is the out drives which I highlighted... I'll add a link to the hot bodies and an ONFA manual

Will add a few cross references...
