the doughnuts are the culprit! just baby it, remember...the fuse is lit

 

Haven't heard that one in a long time.

 

Another question, I am going to the local U PULL IT and see if they have anything worthwhile. It might be easier and cheaper to just swap the whole rear end. The question:which rear ends will fit besides the trucks. Will the suburbans and tahoes fit, what about the vans and envoys/trailblazers?

 

Tahoes will not fit, I don't know about the others though.

 

trailblazers/envoys are like tahoes i believe...no leafs, smaller bolt pattern also

 

Curiosity is killing me, I think I will pull the cover tommorow and see whats inside.LOL Got to get some gear oil first, I am just pulling the cover, cleaning it out and looking to see what damage, then putting it back together until monday when I have time to get to it. It takes 80w90 oil dosn't it?

 

for a cheap fix you can replace the spyder gears... or put a powertrax locker in there....
i would go eaton or trutrac though.... im leaning toward an eaton.... if i change mine.. hopefully the 9.5 g80 is a little stronger

 

didnt get a chance to pull the cover today. I noticed it pops more when making a sharp left turn, especially from a stop. How are these spider gears activated, being open diff does it have a pin that slides over to activate one side or the other, or is it something else that activates the spiders.

 

just bring it to me

chances are your spider gears and center pin is shot

 

Pulling the cover tommorow to see whats up.
