Re: front diff part help, ASAP (do not move)
Well like I said, I would keep everyone updated, so here it is.
After 18 days from the second failure, multiple phone calls, 3-mails and the removal of 2 more front diffs later.......we agreed on a refund of $207.32.
Yes, I know its a random number, but that total is basically 4/5ths of the labor and the cost of the seal that was installed wrong and needs to be replaced.
At this point Im probably going to leave the front diff out of my truck since I had planned to take it off the road at the end of the summer anyway, Ill just continue with the 2WD mode for the next 2 months and change the transfercase fluid regularly instead.

yep, basially what it comes down to at this point is, I paid for is the parts and $50 to press the new bearings on, so I can live with that.MikeRenz said:

Yes, I'm bringing this thread back to life...
sk43, what does the axle do that holds the wheel on? I thought the hubs on these trucks were sealed, similar to the 4th gen F-bodies.
Sounds like Morgan ran his truck around like that too. Any problems you encountered doing that, Morgan?

its like a fwd car set up. axle goes in the hub. with out the axle in front. your wheel would fall off.
most people who make there 4x4 s-10s 2wd. take the axle apart. and just install the outer part of the axle in the hub to hold the wheel on.
