Ok so I figured it out and got her fixed and as usual I over looked the obvious, the bearing that the pinion rides on was sticking out and making it seem as if the pinion was shoved forward, of course I had the front end torn down before I saw the bearing [:@] so I tapped the bearing back in place and put the drive cup back on with some heavy duty loctite. Can't help but feel like a dumb ***** for Not seeing that right away.
