So the other day I tried to drive the truck onto some plastic ramps. One wheel spinning and the other one taking a rest. I finally got it up with one wheel spin and while it was up, I pulled the tires, checked the brakes, unstuck the one side inner wheel and pulled the diff cover. Noticed a chipped tooth on one spider and the clutch pack was on both sides and "looked" good.
Good Ford.
I changed the fluid that was not all that dirty, nor did I find the broken tooth in the bottom.
Would you replace the diff with a different design or rebuild the ford unit?
I figure the parts cost of rebuilding the Ford is 1/3 the cost of a different unit.
The different unit being possible better quality.
Locker? Or what?
Eventually this truck will wind up 4WD as I already have the trans and front axle.
