Ok, these things look beefy enough to rival a Dana 60, The one in my fleet van (97 E250 E4OD 5.4) failed early this year, howling and clunking...now the one in my recently acquired personal vehicle (89 F250 4x4 7.3) is howling and the gear lash appears quite excessive. My fleet truck dropped one last year also.
Do these things suck or is this just a series of freak events?
Should I bother rebuilding this one or seek out a different model rear end, I know Im into it already for bearing/seal kit and ring gear/pinion should I decide to redo this one. I can do the labor myself.
Opinions and experience please, Am I ******* in the wind? Is this unique to me or have others had this failure w/ the 10.25. Also a good cheap source for parts....or a local Rapid City SD person w/replacement diff.
Thanks.
