Rear differential major damage

JB Weld.

 

the hole in diff picture made my weekend

 

That...is impressive. I've heard of rear diffs grenading before but this takes it to another level

Also never heard of a diff grenading that wasn't due to high stress/abuse, gonna have to pony up the cash on this one. See if you can source a new rear end from a scrapyard off of a front end wrecked Tacoma

 

Glory hole

 

Not passing any judgment on issues of abuse, or manufacturing defects, etc. But--$4500 for repair??!! What on earth are they planning on doing here? Even if your axle shafts are somehow shot as well, nothing here is $4500 worth of damage/repair.

Fix this yourself for < $1000, or at least in that neighborhood. Good Lord.

 

Breaking off 1/4th of a 8.75" ring gear and sending a portion of it through the steel housing is quite a feat with at most 235whp.
(Edit: not 8.75", SR5 has the 8")

 

Oh man, I would have paid to see the field engineer's expression when he saw this and heard that story.

 

Maybe it was running the 93P tune, lol

 

The SR5 would not have the 8.75 Rear, but anyways quite an impressive feat nonetheless.

 

Ah, missed that, good point.

 

Morale of the story...

1) You gotta pay up unfortunately

2) It is fixable in the end

3) NEVER let her drive again. If this was an accident... I don’t wanna see how it goes if she fightin mad!!!



Have a good one bro and keep us posted!

 

just tell the Stealership a stray .44 magnum round hit it during a gangland drug deal gone bad

 

Oh wow! I've never seen car shit itself. You can almost tell what it had fro breakfast

 

All I can say is wow... and good luck op.
This is gonna hurt a little bit.

I'd personally never pay a dealership or garbage franchise shop to fix my vehicle. Like others have said, if nothing else is damaged $4500 for this job is utter insanity.

 

Ok, so add in the reach around and it's...what? $4,505?

 

If you turn on your hazards on while on the side of the freeway, I hear its free

 

Wife is going to owe you some big favors!!!.... for this one....
