crush sleeve question
I may have over tightened the crush sleeve, I didn't read far enough ahead while installing my 4.11s and tightened the **** out of the pinion nut to seat the bearings and races, I did how ever end up with a good preload and gear mesh pattern. I've drove the truck for about 60 miles with no problems or noises. When I drove 20 miles and parked it the housing by the pinion was hot to the touch but I'm assuming it would be, its been driven a few more times back and forth to work about 10 miles each way and the heat is gone. Should I be worried about this or think all is well?

Just wondering if I would notice its not correct right away, or if this would be a slow killer. Wanting to know what I need to be looking for and checking as I drive and break it in.

I'm 150 soaking wet and I crushed the **** out of it! I used pipe wrench to hold yoke and 12" breaker bar with another 12" pipe I had laying around. It took all I had but it crushed finally.
