To me the eaton was/is antiquaited with the pinion bearing loading system (the stubby bolt on the side of the third member)

So is that what makes an axle no longer revelant? I didn't know that! FYI that bolt you are referring to is the Ring Gear Thrust Pad Adjustment. There is a bronze tip on the end of that bolt that should be about .005" from the ring gear back side. It is there so you can load the **** out of your truck and it will give support to the ring gear and keep it from flexing so you don't blow it up.
