the gears are already junk IMO. atleast im not putting them back into my truck.
my truck is my mistress. the girlfriend already knows that and she's jellous
does anyone know how much a new carrier will cost me? if im guna do it i want to do it once and do it right. i wont be half assing the rear end or transmission when it breaks.

It all depends on if you want to go back with the OEM Carrier ( I suggest not)....or if you want a diffrent brand. I like the Auburn Gear or the Detroit Tru Trac.
I can make you a good price on a OEM unit, becaus that's what I sell. Or if you'd like I can price you an American Axle carrier.
PM me if you want me to get you some prices.

Everything Wild Racing said was correct.
If you drive that thing without at least tightening the pinion nut up you won't be driving it far. You can get pinion nuts in the HELP section at your local parts store usually. It is the same nut for the 8.5 10 bolt. I'd put a new nut on it now as well as later. If a nut is removed once don't reuse it. I've had countless nuts back off on me and they will do it in a matter of days after retightening.
Most master install kits are for 8.5's. I've never seen a master kit for an 8.6 even though Summit says it will work when you look it up online. The only difference is the carrier brgs are a different size.
I'm sure you don't have an inch pound tq wrench to measure the rotational load so just tighten it slowly and checking rotational load by hand. When you can feel resistance that would be good enough for now.
