Well it happened again. 2nd time well sort of the first time was just the ring and pinion and spiders. This time everything is destroyed, including the case/Carrier and cross pin all all.

I was offroading with my friends one with a 82 Ramcharger and one with a 04 TJ Wrangler. We tried this very steep and sandy hill. I gunned it up 98% up and all I heard was loud Click Clack! I guess my 5.9 is to much for this weak front axle and 33's don't help.

Thank God it is tax time. I would love to do a SAS, but I don't think I have the time or money. I think I will find a junkyard set and maybe a new ring and pinion. But just have to wait for the IRS and shipping. Maybe a month or so. At least it is drivable in 2wd.

 

Ouch !!

 

Dang!!! Thats bad!Too bad you don't have 3.55s... I have a whole front axle I could send you!

 

I'll take the Carrier and spiders from you in a heartbeat. I'll check my local U-pull it today or tomorrow. I doubt that they have it though. I'll message you if I need it. How much you looking for it?

If you didn't see it I got some sick tires. Here is the post.

Never seen a diff fail and break the casting like that. Good carnage pics at least.

 

Ooh, I bet those are nasty in the mud!! Wow I've been absent way to long. I've just been sooooo busy its not even funny. I'm finally getting back to work on my truck after its been sitting most of fall and all winter.

 

That's too bad. But, like you said, at least it's still drivable in 2WD.

 

LOL! Oh yea that sucker is destroyed.

I guess it shows the front axle shafts and CV's and rear axle/locker can take more then the front ring and pinion and spiders, they are the weak links.

 

nice!!

 

that looks like my old dana 30 diff in my '88 Jeep when it took it dump
