'86 F250 front diff problem
My dad's '86 F250 4x4 6.9 has broken something in the front differential. He was plowing some light snow with it and lost the 4x4. With all 4 wheels off the ground, the front driveshaft is turning but not the axle shafts to the front wheels. So I'd assume it's a pinion or spider gear problem - does that sound right?
I assume it has the Spicer 50 front end. The front gvw is 4600 (if I remember correctly) and the front hub/lockout is as large as the center of rim.
Is there a way to sneak the pumpkin out without removing a side axle - or will I need to pull one? Or both? I need to keep it mobile while I look for parts because I'm using a friend's shop...
Thanks for any help.
