Okay, thanks for the info man. Are you or is anyone aware whether or not toyota pickup carrier shims would work? I see no reason why id need to re shim the pinion since i am not changing gears. I figure itd be easier if i could get a set of shims since all i got is a micrometer which is pretty inaccurate lol, i usually get it close and check it with a dial indicator and some marking compound. Also, will a pickup crush sleeve work?

Toyota pickup rear diffs don't use carrier shims like ours do, they have adjuster wheels for the backlash and carrier preload.
There is a table of 31 different thickness shims for our vehicles, you have to calculate which one you need during the diff setup.
They are about ~$5 each so it can become expensive when you aren't calculating them right.

The rebuild procedure is all there in the TSRM.
Over time I have amassed a collection of about 20 different thickness shims for the carrier, but there are still some setups where I don't have the exact shim I need.
I still need to purchase them from Toyota occasionally.
Toyota V6 rear ends will have the same crush sleeve, pinion bearings and pinion depth shims, but their carrier bearings are not the same.
FYI if you aren't changing gearing, your pinion depth should still be spot on.
You should not have to set that with extra shims.
Parts are still easily sourced from Toyota, I order a set of diff parts every 3 weeks or so.
