I wouldnt say im a newb to the trucks Ive had my 92 for about 5 years. It's been through its fair share of torture. She's been grossly overweighted Wet 350/turbo350/208t-case/GM 14bolt with leafs and 33-12.50 on 16.5's in the bed at one time.

Best truck I have ever owned period. Shes a 318 auto/ 3.90 gear LE ext cab. Hopefully this summer she'll be sitting atleast 4" higher on 33's with a 5.9 Im rebuilding.

I stumbled across this site when I has the pleasant misfortune of scattering my rear differential pushing some snow about 3 weeks before christmas. Great technical descriptions, very informative. After all is said and done she has a brand new trac-lock in the rear with all new internals.

I sold my snowplow (junk little western 6.5 for a s-10) and turned around and bought this clean 89std cab 4x4 with a toasted tranny. She sat for 3 years, dropped a battery a new set of plugs and 5gal of fresh fuel and she fired right up.

Enough of me gabbin. Enjoy

Nice. I'm assuming you mean you shattered your differential. That had to be a fun sound.

 

oh yeah.the center pin bolt backed out from the looks of it. and the pin decided to give the pinion gear some tough love... it looked real pretty.
