Options for a beefier front diff?

And how old was that little bit of oil that was still left inside when it crapped out


I'd be less concerned about the front diff with 37s and more concerned about the axles and the steering rack. Maybe the pass side axle tube because we know someone that's blown one of those up

 

It definitely wasn’t new, but I don’t think that caused the failure.

I think I messed it up throwing it in 4WD with the brakes locked while sliding on ice. Made a pretty messed up noise and wasn’t the same after that for the next year and a half leading up to the aftermarket drain hole.

 

THE TRUTH HAS SET YOU FREE


Yeah that'll do it lol

 

I thought the noise was a u joint or CV, it wasn’t

 

engaging 4wd while sliding is a good way to break many things, just so happened you lost the front diff lottery on it

 

It worked for a good year, then there was glitter lube all over the FS Road

 

Glitter lube.. lolz

 

I think that phrase reveals more about you than you may have intended, lol

 

It’s not my glitter lube

I don’t judge the 99 on what it does in its free time

 

Well if this thread accomplished anything we now know at least 1 way to keep our diffs from exploding. Thanks for the tip!
