GM/Low pinion/ Steering D60 People

What brand gears are you running? Are you taking any extra steps to keep the pinion nut from loosening?

Yukon currently. Never had a pinion nut loosen up luckily.

Shhhiittttttttt. A 5' breaker bar and a tiny bit past mark from taking off and my **** is riding. I have read ALOT about how important a new nut EVERYTIME was. I used my old one. Twice now. That fuker is Prob 250+ lbs. bet a lil blue locktite would def do, think I'll do it next time. And 4:56 spicer gears.. I'm a believer in factory gears..

If your nut is coming loose your not getting the crush sleeve crushed. It kinda works like a bad ass lock washer

No crush sleeve on a 60. So I don't think that's the problem.

And just for the record my pinion nut didn't come loose this time. I just wanted to hear what kind of preventive measures people are making other than the obvious ones on a normal set up.
