Hey guys i was driving down a road on my lunch break and i hit a bump and somthin felt weird after that. When i pulled into the wawa Smoke was pouring out from under my truck. I looked under to find a Cracked differetial. My front diff split from the mount forward. My queston is Does the front drive shaft spin when in 2wd? If it doesnt somehow my 4wd engaged and im gana bet it hapend when i hit that bump. Thanks in advance

 

i know it spins a little in 2wd on my 2nd gen.

 

unless you have unlockable hubs like older trucks had in the 70's and such, the entire drive train spins, and the front is just not connected in the transfer case unless you put it in 4x4. so no it didn't knock it into 4x4, it's just always moving

 

Ok thanks. I gata get it towed now. This sux. Idk what could make it crack like that.

 

Looks like now may be the time to upgrade the gear ratio ....

 

Wow, that sucks man. You are the second person I know thats grenaded the front transfer case.

 

That sucks, I wonder if it's your huge tires causing the front end problems?

 

just fyi, when I sliced my tire on a piece of cattle guard protruding in the road, the county paid for a new tire for me. if a road defect caused the problems you can usually get the city/county to pay for the damages. just most people don't think they can do that so noone ever tries.

 

Was Dusty the first one? He was launching his Dak in 4wd with a Hemi at the strip. Its wierd that this time it just happened out of no where while not even being in 4wd.

 

Yea its weird it cracked right at the mount for the diff casing. And it pissed oil. If im not covered im gana get one from a gen 2 and put in 410s. Blown what had to be done to make that work again?
