Pulled cover off rear differential today to change the fluid, and clean it out,
Only to find out I need to rebuild the differential. only 116k on it,. never been doged.. never spun a tire on it,
This dang goat has got the best of me ,. !!!! Never gonna buy another one!

Anyways , was planning a trip next month so it has to be fixed.
2000 1500 ram , 4x4, has off road pack , ,danna 410 gears.. whats this gonna cost me?
can you guys steer me to the right rebuild kit?

Found another axle at junk yard, but they want 650 for it, and its not same gears as mine.

 

Cost me $1100 for a full rebuild end to end. New gears, seals, and a new limited slip.
The dodge limited slip is crap. I went back with an Auburn.

 

definitions : Dodge: "to avoid"

Yep 1100 what they quoted me just now.. OUCH !
how could that little thing cost only a few hundred less than a trany rebuild??,

whew,, wreckin yard only can get there hands on a rebuild one, 1450+ 300 core.

my *** burnin now... well I best just bite the seat and get it rebuilt. DAMN!

 

Went back with Auborn parts huh? hmmm
Yeah wouldnt be a good Idea to put dodge anything back into these trucks..

so really a rear end "Upgrade" would be wise, hm
<< Ohh this one fits

Update: I found the assembly , bearings, and a quart of additive for 300 , just got to drive an hour to get it ..

 

UPDATE :
Got Differential done today , feels same ,, but its rebuilt ,, cost me 795.00 even ..
Also had the front diff serviced, and had them replace the universal joints with the good ones. (grease fittings on them)

 

Not making any rude noises? Drives nice?

 

nice an quiet , I was worried when before repair was told I could have some noise, but nope. .(now got to figure that damn ticking sound ) lol
