Did you survey the damage and figure out what's holding up your front diff yet Ted? I've been slammed with work so I haven't had a chance to get that video program together.

 

[Tbars4]

...Not yet...I figured I would wait for the video first...:...j/k...

...I did however run home and made sure the X was ready for back up duty...I've been driving the Ranger and all is well unless I need 4x4...I have been researching and it sounds like the spider gears...

...I'm thinking when I do open it up, I'll be ready to do some parts replacing of the good kind and not just a fix..

...Now if work picks up, I can do some shopping...

 

[Dannyboy]

gotcha, that front diff is too much work to tear down and not fix the problem. spider and side gears are a quick fix, I might have a set laying around if you want me to look through some boxes. A locker would replace them but you will break everything else when you lock that Dana 35.

 

[RangerX]

I got my set of spiders and side gears you can have...

 

[Tbars4]

...I will gladly take your spiders and side gears as I tossed the old ones from the X..

..I am also wondering for future reference if they have a LS available for the hybrid Dana 35??...:scratch:

 

[Scott B.]

Yes - the Detroit TruTrac. Or, should I say the Eaton Detroit TruTrac.

I have had one for many years in the front of my truck - it works really well. Torsen has one, but it is not on the market. (Wish it was - it has a higher bias ratio than the TruTrac.)

...Thanks..If you see a cheap used one let me know...:biggthump

...LS in the front, It would mate well with a locker in your old 8 that I'm going to get from you...

I take it you are going to Colorado next year, to meet me for the axle?????

 

[Tbars4]

...I sure hope it works out that way...It's on my calender...

[Tbars4]

[Scott B.]

Congratulations!

 

[Tbars4]

...Thanks...

...Right now I'm looking for a diagram of my relay box...I can't find one for a 95 2.3L and I blew a 30amp fuse and fixed the problem, but I don't know what all is on that circuit...:scratch:

Edit:...Found it and added it to post #2...

 

[Tbars4]

...I was leaving the shop tonight and I seen what looked to be water from my left rear tire to under the truck...I didn't see any sprinkler water anywhere else so I bent down and sure enough, it's a puddle of brake fluid...

......I've been wanting to drive my X anyways...

 

[Scott B.]

Good time to upgrade to rear discs...

 

[Tbars4]

...Rear disc and an 8.8....and a new front end....but for now, I need to let it sit till I get time to play mechanic on the brakes..

 

[Tbars4]

...A week and a half ago I had a little problem...

...Since then, The Ranger has gotten 2 more brand new BFG AT KO's put on so I am doing good tire wise...I need to rip my Pos cable apart as it seems to be an odd transition year thing so no match found...

...and no, I still haven't done anything with the front end but I am working on replacing all kinds of stuff on my X...:biggthump
