just wanted to add to this...............it's been a lifetime or at least half a lifetime for some you since I posted on this!
we couldn't figure out what was going on with this rear diff so I paid to have it re-geared. 200 miles later it went nuclear!!!
The vent at the top of the diff...
Here's my problem.......the insurance company hasn't even looked at it yet!!!! They have been dragging their feet on it because it's still out of state.......It's 300 miles from here. I found a guy in Grand Junction, CO that will tow it here for 2 dollars/mile. Anyone here willing to do it...
Tires were identical........here's what happened. I was rear-ended in Orem last month. It got hit so hard it tweeked my factory hitch, bent the lower control arms, and destroyed my rear shocks. In the process, I think it tweaked the rearend enough that it did something to the seals and...
Darn pictures of the rear diff didn't turn out very well......the interior damage is limited to just the carpet burning off the back seat. The leather is still ok, and also all of the chemical fire extinguisher that has covered everything with a yellow blanket of dust!!!! The rear end housing...
A couple of weeks ago I was driving down the highway for a short period of time, and yes, when I got it home.......there was a little smoke........I found the breather tube was clogged, so I did a little work on it and it was fine.......it had been fine for the last two weeks.........I had no...
Well guys........I don't know what to say or how to feel yet. Yesterday morning I left Pleasant Grove at 4AM to go to Glenwood Springs, Colorado to tow a Grand Am back to rebuild and then sell........I got within 3 miles of my destination and the rearend gave out, sending gears and bearings...
O.K. one more thing I just remembered......did you get a new front trac-bar or a relocation bracket?? When I first installed my POS relo bracket, I noticed that no matter how hard I torqued the bolts down, it still moved a little.......so I welded the relocation brackets on front and...
I have the same set-up.....3 inch lift with 2 BB.....mind vibrates around 70 or 75 and up......so I just drive 60mph now:D my tires are also out of round and make a lot of noise and vibration also.....it took a lot to get them balanced in the first place......are your tires new??
I won't be able to make it out there until around 5 then.......Here's my schedule.......1200 Wife gets home from morning intern shift. 430 Wife returns to campus for Evening intern shift. I was gonna go between those two shifts so she didn't know I went;) I want to go out there so...
So you'll be out there about 1 today? I might be able to head out there, but I have never really found the trail yet!!! I did find all the tow rigs last time just off the highway, but obviously went the wrong direction once I hit the trails:rolleyes: It looks like the beginnings of a Nasty...
