There goes the rear end

So i do put my truck through quite a bit of abuse but for ther rear end to shit out a 104000
Is this normal ive only had the truck for a little over month
Ive done a couple burnouts and only took it up wheeln once
I got brand new whells and 285 75 s/t maxxs ready to go on this week and i dad the toytec 3" orderes but they called and said it was on back order so now iam debating on on what one to gt now

 

What do you mean? Like the shocks are shot?

 

very vague post, not sure what you mean

 

It just go towed to the shop so i dont now what happend exactly i suspect the ring pinion

 

Iam just wondering if it common to have a rear end go out at a 104000 miles

 

You all might just want to go have a seat over there --->

OP, rear end after 100, 000 isn't great but its not uncommon either. I destroyed my first one at 12k and did the second one at 28k. On my third third now and if it shits again I'm going to a rockjock dana 60.

Bottom line, not unheard of. Nothin but to fix it.

 

Not to be a newb but what (other than normal failure) causes this to happen ?

 

Abuse, oil contamination, or bad luck, or worn out bearings.

 

I chose to stand...but thank you

go on...

 

i witnessed one blow this summer, driver was hard on the gas on rocks and the rear end bounced 3-4 times then boom and grinding nastiness. was able to drive it home with a lot of noise luckily. anyway the point is it had about 125k on it. we were pretty surprised but then started reading here and a few other places and learned that it's happening now and then. this was with the trd e-locker.

 

You have TRD OR ? Than it's normal. You made good run with 100k on it.

 

E locker rearend is known to have weak ring and pinion. Doing burnouts isn't helping matters.

Unless you're going to seriously wheel it, rebuild it stock and treat it well. Lots of guys on here with no issues with that same diff.

If you are planning to seriously wheel it, an upgrade is in order.

 

if you abuse it..yes its a good run bit under normal conditions its not good but OP admitted abuse so its understandable

 

This ^

 

Do you know what the previous owner did with it? How often was the diff fluid changed? Was the diff ever submerged in water without the breather extension? A lot of things beyond simple burnouts can cause the diff to go.

 

OP's picture gallery shows OR:

 

i bought the truck with a 2 year 30000 warranty so it will be getting fixed back to stock for now other wise i would upgrade but i will eventually when i have more$$$

 

and yes ita a e-locker

 

Went to the shop to get the scoop and sure enough it was ring and pinion the let me see the gears and there was barley anything left so now i gotta figure out what iam gonna do for a week without my truck

 

A full week? For what? Don't tell me they're quoting you 7 days to fix this?
