I was happily going down the Freeway when my bad choices caught up to me. Then pow, I hear a loud grinding coming from under my truck so I pulled into the emergency lane. My truck wouldn't move or roll in neutral even. So I called AAA and they got me to my shop but since it wouldn't move I let the guy try to bump it off. To our surprise whatever was seized in the differential broke free and allowed me to roll off the back of his tilted flat bed. And now...
I need some major parts!! I guess ignoring a pinion seal leak is a bad idea.
Is there a good rear diff rebuild guide for the Fx4 LVLII?
I know I need a new carrier but Torsen also has a thrust block for sale and I'm not sure if I need to buy that or if it's in the carrier or..? my old thrust block pooped out when the gears made the inspection port and it's all chewed up.
I'll be opening it up tomorrow to see how everything looks / what if anything is salvageable..
