Hi.
I'm having a strange problem with my 44.2. If I tighten down the rear two screws on the slipper cover it binds up, preventing it from spinning freely. If I loosen them up, well, if I remove them, it frees everything up and rolls smoothly. For example, with those screws out, if I turn a rear wheel, the entire drivetrain spins. If insert the screws, not even all they, let 's say 25%, the drivetrain binds enough that when I turn a rear wheel it activates the diff rather than spinning everything.
Am I making sense?
This is without the pinion installed, so the motor is not a factor, and I am using the stock plastic slipper cap and the stock rear plastic slipper mount.
I noticed this after I rebuilt my diffs last week.
