I have a 2000 XJ, 8.25 in the rear. re-geared to 4.56. I have messed with the backlash for hours and hours. bolted the diff on and filled it with oil like 6x. Each time I think I have it dialed - its not.
issue: Whining on Coast or Deacceleration. I don't hear grinding, just loud vibrational whin. I honestly think its the Pre-Load on the pinion. I measured the pinion depth and have it shimmed according to the old pinion depth. When torqued down, I have a little bit of wiggle in my Pinion Yoke, I can wiggle it in and out, its not firm. Do I shim more on the inner bearing, or is there shims between the smaller outer bearing and the pinion yoke? Maybe the crush sleeve is bad? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Start a thread in the modified XJ forums. This is just a general chat thread.
' finally got tired of troubleshooting power without crank after replacing all leads, wires, plugs, terminal clamps & starter on a known good battery.
I cut a mousehole in the RY116 relay to starter in the PDC to skip past the ignition by key & get her juice via bypass the key = I finally I had a true 5 minute discovery and deduction on one of my Jeeps = bad keylock.
At least I can keep driving towards 400k me miles again until RA keylock gets here.
Finally got the Rustys front bumper installed on the ‘98. Added amber flush mount liights and a Smittybuilt X20 10K lb winch. These parts have been sitting on a bench for about three years, I got a good deal on them back then, even better deal by today’s prices. I really like these bumpers, I have three of them (the ‘91 is behind my ‘98) Still need to wire the lights and winch, then I’ll reel in the synth rope.
Finished the floor pan, the fit is good and solid. I'll grind the welds and paint. Then seem seal everything. With this nearly completed I can finally move back to interior restoration
