edit: hey 2x can you get me the parts numbers for parts #17, 45, 8, and 4?

Considering that's the whole external aluminum case, wouldn't you be better off getting a whole case used somewhere?

Well other then some chunks that came from the busted "Rear bearing retainer housing," part 8, everything looked great inside. I'm just trying to figure out how the syncro spring ring (that's a mouthful) got loose on its own...

Am I interpreting the diagram right in that the said spring is b/t the forks? Would there be enough play in those to have them bind or impact that spring?

I don't think so... I guess we'll see when i tear into it this weekend. I wish i could do it tonight, but i'm stuck here till 6

For about 700 miles the truck was driven with no rear snap ring (the common one everyone talks about). I bet it was during this time that it worked it's way loose, with nothing holding everything together.
