So my truck decided it wanted a new diff today. I dont really like the way it let me know though....


any suggestions?? Its.... It was a D70 3.55 limited slip

 

OUCH!

you know what I got.........let me know


it'll be blinging under there. I have a new Detroit, D80 mag-hytec cover and yukon master overhaul kit as well if youre interested.............

 

Fred...Fred...You need a diff from a tractor....

 

That would be too heavy, I wanna go FAST!!!!

 

Ouch.

5 Ton Rockwell might hold for awhile...might be heavy but at least it will last.

 

"NASTY LOOKING SOUP" you have there-----thats gonna hurt,hope you get everything back in working order.DW

 

I got to ask fred....What where you doing when this happened??Did it make one bad bang when the 70 flew apart.?How did it let you know??

 

thats what mine looked like in the ferd when i grenaded it.... i had more pieces though. but yeah what were ya doin when it blew when it decided to relieve it self of its duties?

 

I was slowly turning around in Toromonts yard and when I got out I noticed a little line from about 15 feet back to a big puddle under my truck, it had been making strange noises all day but I never thought I blew it up inside until a peice decided to break through the cover and let all the oil out!!
Should have it back up and running tommorow, stronger then ever!!

 

3.55's must be nice for top end, low rpm cruisin, I almost hate my 4.10's

 

Wow, blew up real good.

 

the monitor in my laptop decided to tap out. but its ready to rock Fred. can you measure you existing ubolts. I need 3 specs from it. rod diameter, and both width and height on the inside of the ubolt. you can give me a ring with that, i won't be able to get PMs. I have pics of it too.......its swanky OH one other thing bet everything soaking in WD40 ASAP! ubolts, braklines speed sensor, ujoint straps, specially all the brake line connections.

you have floorjack and jackstands? engine hoist to get the **** out of the back of my truck?

 

Haha just got up, I'll go out and get everything soaking. I have floor jack and will have to get my jackstands back from my buddy. How heavy is this bugger?? My hoist is all siezed up....

 

brother its a HEAVY ****.......2 guys cannot lift it off the ground I'm 100% sure on that. its all of 500 or 600 lbs guarenteed. I can bring my engine hoist down too. and some 6 ton jackstands. you have tools? deep 15/16" long 1/2" breaker bar, hand tools/ AIR tools?

I won't be on the net for much longer.

 

Good kill buddy. I'm proud of ya.

Is the carrier ok or posi unit? Ouch, that looks expensive. I've broke a few 8 1/4 or 9 1/4in dodge stuff and a few gm 12 bolts, not a dana 70 unit. How the drive shaft and rear end axle shafts look? I bet ya it from all the ice thats around right now. Its easy to break stuff. Most of the rears that I've broke are from doing accellerating from gravel or dirt onto pavement. When your a kid, you its a must do. The gm 12 bolt, I broke on ice. I was trying to impress a girl that I was dating at the time. In a smogged out 80 1/2ton chevy surb with four different bald tires, thats the only way it would do a burnout. Most of mine clunked until I got home, so I never got stuck somewhere.
