WOW! had it been running dry? I have an old dana 60 rear that I have been thinking about scrapping, but that pic makes me think I should keep it around in case the 10 bolt on my chebby does the same thing.

Wow! What a mess... That looks like the rear diff in my '05 explorer, lucky for me it was under warranty Turns out Ford used NO bolts to attach the ring gear to the carrier on the explorer independent rear diffs, just a machined pressed fit... Gee, I guess they never heard of "thermal expansion"

hahaha well the story gets better
The truck is its last legs (rust bucket, t-case is held in with a tow strap but the engine is in top shape
) So when the diff blew up I was about 25 KM from home so i just put it in 4wd and went home running off the front axle. A couple days later my budie wants some parts off it and then its beeing scrapped (truck is to much of a bucket to put any $$ in). So we go to drive it to his place (about 2 blocks away) and I get about 100 ft and the stupid c-clips drop out and the axle slides out of the housing and the burb falls. so then im mad so f##k it ! the diff is f***ed anyways so I continued on going 
So Some friends are getting some GM parts. Im going to keep the 6.2 and would like to find a nice 80s GM 2wd short box step side and put the 6.2 and 700R4 in that and have a nice economy runner. Crazy thing i know some 6.2s get a bad rapp, but this one had about 500,000 KM on it last year when it was in for a new IP and the mechanics did a compression test on it and the lowest was 400 PSI and the highest was 425 PSI across all 8 cylinder
