Started making a tapping noise for a couple days. Got my bud from the shop in my truck crusing and self medicating while trying to figure this noise out.. Than out of no where bboooommmm. Blown up rear end at 88k.. (I am on 38x15.50s..) So either going to rebuild it or get anothe rear end. Not cheap anyway I go about it. Not sure about a locker for a daily driver. Some kind of posi tho for sure. So the few hundred bucks i have set aside for the dreaded spark plug change and coil change is now going to this. Sucks. Gotta pay the price to ride big I suppose. The guys at the shop all got a good laugh.

 

What exactly is a "locker"

 

Wow, that can't be good, you will surly leave oil spots in the driveway. I'ld park in the street. Good Luck.

 

So here is the aftermath. Abunch of broken ****. And a total of $1,000 bucks.

 

So running 38" tires......Were these aftermarket gears or the stock ones?

 

is your ring and pinion good......if so

find some used spider gears... and that shaft that broke... add the new spider gears.. and that shaft.. and weld that shaft in place... and go with it...

i did that on my 98 f150 and it was fine... when i re geared i sold that rear end to my neighbor and he still uses it and its been like that for 5 years

 

it locks the left and right axles together so both wheels are spinning when you lose traction. makes it hell on turnin though

 

Ah, ok. Yeah my 95 spins the right side before my left

 

that sounds like a posi track.

 

no...posi is both wheels..........

if it spins one tire... before it would ever spin another ... its an open rear end...
