Lurned evreething I no frum Utoob.

 

wellllll I blew up the front third for sure

and the rear isn't looking so great

 

You can tell how old your diff is by counting the rings, right?

 

Whose idea was it to buy another project truck so I'd have more time to fix the first project truck?

mine? Fuck that was a dumb idea

 

Don’t say I didn’t want you to not run it lol

 

I never did

I've gotten better about lying to myself about things not being a problem

I figured I should drain the rear and check for pieces before I commit to rebuilding the front third lol

 

now to decide what to do

 

This is on the crawler, not the Taco, right?

 

Does the ford REALLY need axles?

 

i love working on cars but I don’t get much enjoyment from axle work. It sucks.

 

On....the Taco? Or the crawler?

 

See, this guy is also concerned

 

I plug in my Switch, only to realize I had wiped it and so all of my Mario Kart progress is gone

 

Man. What are you gonna do now? Lol

 

Was it grey and soupy? Usually means the axle needs a rebuild

 

Playing Super Smash Bros instead

 

I blew up the front locker in the crawler and the pinion bearings, crush sleeve are shot. I'm assuming the ring and pinion are a loss too. I skipped wheeling it this past weekend to avoid making it worse. I rode along and hiked instead.

I just drained the rear diff and it's got some glitter as pictured but no big chunks so I'm gonna assume it's on its way out but not urgently in need of a rebuild...
