was driving down the road in 2wd and i heard a grinding noise from the front end almost like a wheel bearing noise. its not a constant noise it only happens randomly. Its happened before so I clicked in and out of 4wd. It makes a click then goes away in 4wd. when i put it back to 2wd again the noise usually goes away. This time i heard some nasty sound then heard and saw part of my universal joint bounce down the road behind me...
heres some pictures of the damage done, can somebody please supply me with a part number so I can go ahead and replace it. Also, do you think the splines coming off the diff are ruined or not??
lastly, I had it installed on the driver side when my cv blew, the shop's distributor had a heavy duty half shaft and that one is holding up nice. If anyones knows of this PLEASE point me in the right direction.

pictures are too large to upload heres some links...

na the diff isnt locked up ive had those half shafts go a couple of times, usually the universal that goes into the hub tho. thanks for the part number nim. have any of you guys heard of a heavy duty half shaft for that thing?

 

Don't buy those piece of **** parts from brandx.com. Look a quality beefy aftermarket unit that's made in America, or it's just going to break again. If you must buy ****, buy it from a physical store so you can return it with out the shipping nightmare associated with online commerce. OEM is even ****, because of the government. They are making them as light as possible to lower emissions and increase gas mileage to appease the environmentalist *** clowns who need to be killed. Been there, done that.

 

HAHAHA Good Luck FINDING ANYTHING Made in America....
But the parts from moparamericaonline, are genuine Dodge Parts, as far as i know
the dont make anything beefy (or in america) or aftermaket its either New from Dodge
or Rebuilt by SOMEONE.. and who knows about whos doing the rebuild
