A lesson in adversity, resilience, and discipline

Either chunks came out, or they found nothing.

 

They just didn't tell you about it, or lied.

 

Well I know what found before they got the truck

 

I cant believe their assessment was a whopping few minutes of draining the rear diff and then searching for particulates. I figured they would have atleast opened the diff to verify some key areas should there have been further concern. I really think they must have changed their minds at some time during the initiation of the investigation and tried to reveal as little as possible to bypass the problem onto themselves.

Well atleast you will be ideally eliminating the "turd" part of your truck by having a beast ass curry axle there. I feel bad for you man, you might have the roughest LT build ever on TW in terms of things go wrong that shouldn't have from the get go.

 

For now the build is dead in the water and the truck is little more than a lawn ornament.

 

I'm sure funds are the #1 thing impeding progress.

When you're ready to turn wrenches, or anything for that matter, holler. I'll gladly come help as long as needed

 

Shit that sucks to hear this. It will live again man.

 

@Yotabilly

 

Bummer dude. Hope it gets sorted out.

 

Thanks man, I'm still interested in your third break light housing if you get a chance

 

Maybe I'll make an extra one to bring up the spirits in this thread.

Anyone know where to find the 3rd gen Tacoma pinion angle?
For my research I'm gonna mark mind and reference "factory"
I'm sure it'll help legally

 

This!

 

update?

 

Truck is currently still sitting in place

@beertimecontinuum has offered to come over and look at it with me and through conversations we both think it may be a stripped axel spline

But we won't know til we yank it
Then we have to source the axel if that's the issue.

Been looking into transport options to get the truck to Cali to replace everything and 4link the truck but currently the transport brokers are telling me it will be a bit pricey to do so out of lexington

 

Isn't 4 linking supposed to make stuff pretty shit to DD? Not to discourage you cause I want to see it. #racetruck

 

I sometime daily drive my truck for a few weeks and havent noticed a difference in 4 link except that the drive line doesnt move as much as leaf springs

 

Yeah but your truck is a freak of nature and doesn't count
