New problem - Blown Diff!

(1/4) > >>

enak:
Argh!  the rear has been making a whiring noise this week and after rebuilding the rear hubs (one was spraying grease out the grease seal, other was sloppy) I test drove the LSE up and down the hill... after a few runs it made a horrible BANG BANG BANG noise as what I suspect is the crown gear has lost a tooth.

After jacking the driver's side of the axles the wheels can be turned to a  point where the rear wheel free wheels.

Tomorrows jobs:
Pick up diff casing gasket from dealer
Pick up EP80/90 oil
Remove rear prop shaft
Fit spare diff (yes! My friends have a spare)
Refit rear prop shaft
Test drive RR!

Save up for recon transfer box!

For anyone driving around with a seized viscous unit... one of your diffs will blow eventually... :roll:

Any tips for this job would be greatly appreciated!!!

all I can say this was not a nice noise!! Just as well we got the spares to fix it  8) I will be double checking my rangy tomorrow just to be on the safe side  :)

check the half shafts... i might be missing something stupid, but when our 110 stripped one it made a similar noise and had similar symptoms.

tried to pull off at traffic lights and a sound equivalent to a shotgun arose from the rear... lost drive except in diff lock, all the usuals.

enak:
I had the half shafts out earlier when I did the hubs... There was some wear on the teeth on one side.

Tomorrow will tell... I have to take the half shafts out to change the diff anyhow.

AbyssDJ:
it might be the teeth... check the drive flange too - thats basically what ours did. munched the teeth on both which resulted in the obvious. you know how noises travel in landies :)
