New take off Rear question

Hey guys, I just received my new take off 8.8 rear with 3.73 gears, t-lok, and the cobra pinion flange to bolt up to my drive shaft. I was just curious to those who have done this before, do i need to adjust backlash or any of that crap? Do i need to break in the gears? and should I change the diff fluid after 1,000 miles or so?

Thanks a lot,
-Ryan

Nope, it's ready to go. Just bolt it up.

Flange already attached?
Bolt, check fluid and GO
to 2 wheel peel land.
Break in like a new stang
would need to be broken in...
Fluid is synthetic if it has it in it.
No need to change it until 100,000 miles...

Be sure to throw away the one time use OEM hardware.
one time use suspension fasteners
Buy new ones from Ford ForTheWin.
You dont want that new rear end to come loose
up at speed...
