I love brunettes with a small one and hair that is long and glistens from behind.
O #### wrong topic, sorry I seen rear end and my mind just ran away.. So the subject of trucks um ya still like the brunette ones never cared for the red ones. -
Yikes that's heavy duty. Must be a 4:55 at least.
Lepton1 Thanks this. -
OP
First thing that happened on my differential was the yoke seal started leaking. Mechanic recommended changing the oil just to be on the safe side and there were big chunks on steel in the the differential housing. So he just rebuild it before matters got worse. -

Yep, you hear a loud bang. The vibration that has been going on for over a year stops. (no one could figure what the vibration was. And then as you are pulling an 80' bridge beam the pilot car behind you radios to ask why you are throwing oil all over his windshield because the wipers just smeared it all over the glass.... LOL
Then you get to call the boss and tell him you have good news and bad news. The good news is that the vibration stopped. The bad news is that the rear drive now has a silver dollar sized hole in it.
Then you get to see if you are a real driver. You dig through your truck and the other 4 company trucks to see if anyone has break cleaner. Then you talk to the contractor and get a can of expanding foam. You clean the hole the best you can and fill it with the foam to keep from losing any more differential fluid and drive it 600 miles back to the shop.
If that did not work, we all had rolls of duct tape.Lepton1 and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -
So there is warning sign.

Can't answer your question but sometimes you can split the drives and one will work giving you time to get to a shop saving you a towing bill.Last edited: Jan 16, 2016
