My front diff has something grinding inside when I drive in 2H and when I turn it clunks like its catching something. Could someone tell me what happened here? It will go into 4 but the front wheels won't get any power to them. Maybe broken shift fork? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Jake

 

Spider gears are all chewed up if the diff is making noise sounds like your going to go find a new diff

 

Crack open the diff and take a look

 

Sound like busted gears to me. x2 on opening it up

 

yup sounds like your spider gears, i have the same probelm, i was playing a little too hard in the dezert and bad news bears, havent taken it apart yet tho

 

Damn anyone know where I can get a used differential for a good price?

 

First off make sure you get the same gear ratio as your rear axle. Look on you driver back door on the sticker and find where it says axle the will be a 2 letter number code there like H9 are B6 are something like that post it and I can help u get you gear ratio

 

Right to a scrap yard more than likely the front diff is still good just unbolt it and walk up to the front maybe cost you 50$ if you take it off yourself but definitely make sure you match the gear ratio of the rear

 

I have 3.55 gear ratio which is the H9

 

Well I could prolly sell you one but I would have to check and make sure what gear ratio my parts truck is. And I also live like 7 hours away from where u are ha. I would defiantly check all the salvage yards close by u.
