Again, the toolbox is useless for my needs and use of space. Your extra space is a complete waste.

 

Looks like I'll be cutting that lower arm cam bolt off. Hopefully the dealership has one in stock.

 

Last night I finally put on a brave face and cracked open my rear diff for a look-see. Having never been inside a Dana 60, I was surprised how little room there is to scoop out crap. The ring gear is huge. I sprayed the crap out of it with brake cleaner and mopped up the carrier. The gears are in great shape, not sure what I was afraid of. However, my build sheet states I have a no slip rear axle, but this is clearly an open diff. I even had friction modifier on hand in anticipation of needing it. Not sure but I'm thinking the rear end has been rebuilt.

The oil was nasty. Lot of water in there and a lot of foamy-ness.

 

Can you post a pic of the inside??

 

Ugh, I was going to, but it got dark on me and I was working fast and forgot. Sorry. It looks like this though-

 

Yeah, that does look a lot like an open carrier.... Too bad.

 

I haven't done anything to my truck since August. It's still parked next to the garage with the engine half dismantled.

 

Maybe that's why it won't start?

 

Hmmmmmm

 

went to go buy my new plow today. apparently my turbo tax card only allows me 3500 a day, so i paid for half of the cost (2075.00) and took the wiring and cutting edge home. got the wiring all installed and hooked up to my neighbors fisher 7.5 sd to make sure everything was wired correctly. its good to go, and ill go pick the plow up tomorrow. cant wait to get it! we are supposed to get 2-3 tonight, and i dont have it yet, im going insane with not having a plow!!!!! ill get pics of the truck and new plow when i pick it up tomorrow. have i mentioned that I CANT WAIT! its a brand new 2012 fisher 8' HD straight blade.
