Alright i want to start off and say that my truck is f*****, It all started when is was going home, i hit wot for a second and all of a sudden BOOM my truck started to slow down as if i hit the brakes and a loud screech came from the back of the truck and griding of gears from the transmission. I rolled to the side of the road and was later tow home by a friend.
then the next day me and my cuz (lukecibilch) took off the diff cover to see how much damage had been done. We did this before anything with the trans b/c we knew that thing was done. So when we saw the damage we could not believe the outcome. There was a large hand full of broken differential and the magnet was completely covered with shards and thats just the beginning
Next thing that we realized is that the differential wasn't even connected to the axles and the ring wasn't meshed up to the pinion! So some how the ring gear started rubb against the rear end cover, wearing about a 6"-7" line into metal so as it did that the area of the cover got red hot and got soft enough to push out the metal making a raised area about .5"s wide .25"s out and 6"-7" long. B/c the differential cover got hot the raised area had no paint on it b/c it had been burned off... As if that wasn't weird enough, there was a small gash on the diff cover about 1/8th inch across it looked like it was shot with a gun. The hole was at the top of the. This explained where that quart of fluid went.LOl
