Going to dismantle first, make sure nothing else is broken. Found a complete front assemble/diff for 200 including actuator about an hours drive from here. Guess we'll see.

Any update on this? Just curious what you decided to do and if you've got it all fixed.

What is that overhead console you have up there? Mine is the stock one that came with my Lariat, but I really dig the design and number/letter coloring of your overhead console.

Thanks. It's a full Expedition console. I pulled the rear A/C controls out of it. I added three switches and a digital volt meter. I have some pictures of the install in my build thread.

I had a feeling that's what it was. Thanks for the heads up, I'll check your build log.

I got a precut off ebay, went on like a dream. NYS says 6" max and that is perfect, like my 93 with the sunvisor. So much easier to drive and not dark at all.

Nice looking truck man. I put the lightning style headlights on mine too. It really makes these trucks look nicer.

As for me... Today I replaced the serpentine belt (went with a gates fleetrunner hd) and the belt tensioner assembly. Changed the idler pulley yesterday. Running smooth with no squeaking, so I'm happy.

Not yet, they are suppose to be removing a replacement front diff complete from another 98 this coming week. I'm only using the housing piece from it. Removed my complete assembly, didn't realize how easy that was going to be. You don't so much as have to remove the wheels in these trucks to pull the front diff assembly. I did though, it was easier to disconnect the half shafts from the diff this way, via impact. Had mine on the bench in 45...a job for air tools though. 15, 12 and 18mm were the only sockets needed.

The housing slips right off the short axle once a single snap ring is removed, no need to seperate the diff cover. Short shaft inserts through thrust bearing, no C-clip holding in place. So, easy job...quick!
