Ummmmm, I cant offer any help. I do know that there is a story behind this though.

Okay, I just searched a bit more and cant find a housing. Maybe check junkyards or CL.

I'm new to the dodge scene but been driving Chrylser products since I was 16 and This is a first I ever heard of a front diff exploding. Many rear diffs but never a front.

I'd like to here the story as well. I guess you was wheeling?

lack of maintenance?
I'd check Ebay or Craigslist.
Ebay usually has a bunch of salvage yards that deal in mass quanitity and bulk shipping.

Closest thing I've ever seen to a front diff failure was the inner half of a CV axle seize up and that was from some pretty severe off-road use...

I just changed my front diff fluid yesterday and after about 35,000 miles it was silver/metallic looking. So you let it go too long and you are bound to run into issues.
