Happpyyy birthday Paden!!

 

Look what I started hahaha.

 

thanks guys!

 

So you end up breaking anything, because I sure as hell did.

 

i heard about this saturday-small world
they look pretty badass

 

Hi guys, I am back in the valley now!

 

soo. i blew up my diff for the second time, in 4 days. nice

 

did you do any kind of break in process after they got installed?

 

what blew? did it eat the pinion gear or just destroy the carrier bearings?

 

i did, i drove around in 4wd for an hour or 2, not staying in the same rpms, adjusting speeds.
i have also heard you should break them in the way you plan to drive your truck? i didnt do it like that, but what do you think?

not sure about this time, i havent tore it down yet. just got back from california.
last time it was the ring and pinion, this time im not sure, theres a very very slight grind in 4wd, but the 4wd doesnt even engage (axles dont spin)

 

you do know you can't shift into 4lo at 75 miles an hour right?

but what are you doing? why is your diff failing instead of the CV's? at I would also check other driveline components specifically your transfer case

 

also I just wanted to share that those coils in between my bump stops worked amazing this weekend, made the truck handle the weight easily and stopped all the excessive tipping that I usually get.

 

i always stop completely before switching to 2wd, lo or hi.

and this time i was hauling ass up olds racing a couple rhinos.... in reverse, and im pretty sure i got airborn through the woops and when i landed that might have done something??
i didnt hear any cracking, snapping, popping, griding or anything. just lost traction and thats how i knew i lost my 4wd.
if i drive in 4wd now, theres a very very slight grind that goes with something rotating.

how could the transfer case effect my diff blowing?
i dont know why my axles arent going, i was in sand so there was no binding at all in my front end.

 

front diff or rear diff? if u decide to build it yourself - i have all the stuff to set up diffs...and about every other tool imaginable

 

Eric if there was no noise and the diff just disengage I would believe your actuator stopped, possibly you Jarred a vacuum hose loose?
