[Fot] Diff case spreader

[Dennis DeLap]

I have seen alot of folks put shims there on the TR diffs.
Why not - what's the diff.

Wait a minute Rocky. There are no shims sandwiched between the bearing cup
and the case on the TR 2-6 differential. The shims to set the backlash go
between the carrier and the cone bearing that is pressed on.  You must be
on the friends of Ford website!
