Truetrac question

[C10MixMaster]

I was doing a preassembly on the truetrac that should be going into the truck soon. One thing i noticed is the bolt holes in the carrier are larger than the bolts. the bolt holes measure 13/32 and the bolts are 3/8. so there is 1/32 or .030 inches of slop , seams excusive for something that should be as precise as a differential. So is this normal or do I have a problem ? I dont want to "just go with it" and make an $800 mistake.

well talked to Eaton and verified the holes are to there spec. I guess were going to find out if the clamping force of the bolts is sufficient. I haven't heard of any problems from the ring gears coming loose.

That does seem to be excessive, but if they it's good to go, I guess it is.

I ran one of those for the last 5 years and the ring gear was still nice and tight when we took it out.
I would not worry about it.

I hope yours works much longer than mine did.
It failed last month after about 5 years.
I suspect perhaps a bent axle tube put a weird pressure on it and that was what made the tooth break.

Other than that, it worked awesome.

Installed one but can’t remember any oddity with hole size. Have yet to run it, but soon.

Put my ring gear on and torqued to 65 ft lbs. That mother ain't going no where. Lol

Left handed threads too.
