Well I pulled my cover and found the clips in the bottom of the housing still intact. I was having some chatter only under heavy tow how important are these clips and what will happen if they are not installed everything looked and felt ok.

 

What cover and what housing?

 

2004 Ram 1500 9.25 3.92 gears.

 

probably the only cover that holds those kinda gears ( scarcasm )

 

Found one on my magnet at 90k and put it back together with fresh gear oil just hoping it would be okay. Within about 5k my rearend was wheel-hopping and rubbing in turns when it got hot and I had to have a new locker put in it. I decided not to go back with the factory and went with a eaton detroit true trac.
Maybe you know how to work on differentials? Mine seemed fine until later.
just my 2 cents


04 ram 1500 4wd SLT Hemi, OEM off-road 17's, BFG-LT's, aiiraid cai, cortex 3950, magnaflow y-pipe, detroit TT rear, mag hytec trans and rear, srt a-pillar w/trans temp, 190 t-stat, pwr stop drilled/slotted all 4, pwr wire, grnd TB

 

Thanks I figured as much so I ordered a Detroit locker and all new bearings just going to do a complete rebuild get rid of the clutches.

 

Atta boy!!
