What does HUMMER consider a normal measurement for Backlash???

The tech who put in my new R&P said the old one was at .022 (thousandths) and that normal was from .006 - .010.

He said he thought along with the possible inconsistency with the hardening process, that the backlash was way off. He shimmed it to .010 thousandths.

Holy Shiite! .022"?!?!? That's horrible!

I set mine up at .006" but acceptable is up to .009", that may explain alot. I wonder if the case is distorted, no way GM would allow that kind of excessive clearance.
