i was informed this morning by the kid i bought the d35 off of that about 20k miles before he stopped running the truck he kept having issues with the thrust washers wearing out every few thousand miles. he said he didnt know why but he did mention that at one point he had put a new spindle on the pass side and maybe the drivers side as well. is there anyway that if the job was not done correctly (i.e. splines not matched correctly) it could be the reason for the washers to be wearing out??? i need to get this figured out and corrected asap b/c i dont want to put it in until everything is all set
