Around .005" -.010" measured at the crown wheel tooth
if you have back lash at the pinion yoke , that is not the backlash you need to measure as it is a combination of axle spline and side gear clearance in the diff
what is most important is the mesh position of the crown wheel and pinion teeth, preload on the pinion bearings and diff carrier bearings
you will need a workshop manual to get the correct mesh setting and preload readings

Testimonial: "Thanks Bill,Will pay attention to preload on pinion bearings and diff carrier bearings;replace shims with correct ones to bring back lash to within tolerance (according to specs)and rather prevent poss.excessive load/wear to crown and pinion gears."

How to install new rear diff on 08 gmc sierra sle 2wd

If you are replacing the entire unit, often best to cut rusty bolts and replace them. If replacing just the guts, requires special tools to set gear clearance and backlash. Farm this out unless you plan to do this type of work often enough to justify purchase of tools.

2001 Super Duty F 450 Drw ...shimming backlash on Dana 4.88 limited slip rearend

There is no shims to reduce the backlash in a diff. The backlash comes from incorrect thrust washes behind the side gears . They wear and allow the tooth clearance to become excessive . Using new washes will bring the backlash back into specs.. Check bushes in the gears and shaft condition that the gears are mounted on.

Intermittent backlash in drive train appears to be between transfer case to front diff in 4th gear on bitumen when centre diff lock engaged no more backlash. mainly occurs when at a constant speed ie 70 to...

you shouldnt be in 4 wheel drive on bitumen you will get "bind up" of drive train which can cause damage or excessive freeplay in other components in drive train, inspect freeplay in universal joints on tailshafts, centre bearing and diff backlash specs, some backlash is quite normal, inspect trans/transfer case mounts also.

I have a 98 ford f150 4wd rear diff is howling bad under load and coast no noise at no load had bad rear axles and brgs even though i didnt think this would fix it i replaced them as i expected, no...

the bad bearings and axles probably caused damage or wear to the gears / pinion when under load the bearings keep the axles straight and keeps downward pressure from loads off the gears and gear bearings --look at gear mesh will probably be off very slightly and not from backlash shims but from ring gear bearings or pinion bearing damaged

Rear diff bearing torque settings 95 trooper

Do you mean the pre loads on the pinion bearings and the crownwheel ?
Pinion is 6 - 11.5 lbs Ins on new  bearings on the big nut as you turn it up the pinion should just start to turn .
, it has a collapsible spacer ..
Crown wheel bearing caps are 80 Ft/Lbs.
Crownwheel bearings are loaded by getting the backlash to 006' - 008' thou and putting a 002' shim each side to load the tapers up .
