There went my rear end
Well I guess the pinion in the rear end is screwed now. I was doing a little bit of today and when I pulled around the stereo shop. Got out and got back in the truck, I put it in gear and it I had a loud crack or snap.... then metal hitting metal. I was like I checked the driveline because I thought it mightve been the shaft but it was still spinning. I'm guessing its in the rear end. the Driveshaft was spinning when I put it in gear. Good thing for extended warranty huh.

Definately, mine wasn't under warranty . I got to replace it with 4.10s and a locker so I was happy, but recently (4-5 months after install) they started acting up so I took it to the shop and they said that something was messed up from wrong installation and they fixed it. Now, about a month later, it feels funny again and is shaking pretty bad at highway speed, so I'm thinking its going out agian. Make sure that you know who is repairing it and that they have a good name, otherwise you might end up in my shoes and have to keep messing with it for much longer.

Why wouldn't a diff be covered under a warranty that is suppose to cover drivetrain
Hell I got my old truck covered under an aftermarket warranty when I blew out the rear end and transmission at the same time.

go to a local speed shop and ask them if they or know anyone that can set up gears a 4x4 is another good place to try you can usually get it done for about $350 plus a couple hundread for gears and then what ever locker or LS you decide
