My differential ate itself and I need to get back on the road as cheap and easy as possible. A 3.55 open will do!

TIA,

Vince

 

Check the classified ads on this forum. Also, most bones yards will have something that will fit your truck Swapping the whole axle should be the cheapest. The internals are very expensive.

 

I'm changing my carrier to a posi, you can have the 'open' carrier for the price of shipping if you want it.

 

Very cool! When?

Vince

 

You can try carparts.com to locate a rear differential near you also.

 

get a sd unit from the junk yard, much beefier and bolts into your housing, bearings and all.....

 

As soon as I can clear the shop.
My stuff is always the last to get fixed. You realize that you'll only be getting the carrier, spider gears and cross pin, No ring or pinion gears and the bearings.

How much do you need in the diff?

 

That's what's going into mine Joe.

 

its a huge differenc sitting side by side isnt it....lol and the weight difference is impressive

 

Yah, I was amazed at the weight of that thing. I just pulled an s-10 out of the ditch by my house and damn near got stuck myself. I need to change that thing asap.

 

Does the 10.25 ring gear just bolt up to the 10.50 carrier?

 

yes, as does the 10.25 abs ring

 

i literaly unbolted the caps, let the busted carrier dro pout and slid the 10.5 in, bearings and all

 

Thanks c00nhunterjoe. That is what I thought but I wanted to make sure.

 

I'm thinking I should get the whole assembly so I can just bolt it back together.
