hole in my front differential

[shinta]

so after a good day of runnin thro the sand i get to the house and discover fluid dripping from the top of my front differential. upon investigating i discover a nice size hole in the top. any suggestions. oh yeah so i go to pull the ex into the garage and no it wont start. so it tries to turn over but wont. after reading some posts iam gonna try to change my throttle postion sensor and maybe my idle air control valve. again any suggestions.

Does it have a lift kit with a drop plate for the passenger beam?

 

[shinta]

yes it does

 

[Foxracin]

Than thats probably the culprit. Theres not enough clearance between the drop plate and diff. They call the drop plates diff poppers.

 

[shinta]

so what can i do.

 

[94Gexplorer]

you should get a better drop bracket but you could extend ur bumpstops

 

[shinta]

yeah i forgot to put the bumbstops on. where could i find a different drop bracket

 

[Flip4ford]

The drop brackets are hard to come by separatly. You have to go to a dealer (superlift-james duff ect) and tell them it is a replacement for a wrecked vehicle or it is very hard to get one.

It's not hard at all....

You can find the pieces you need on eBay....Tuff Country Hardware is available seperately.

But you need to beef them up a little, welding some gussets in the known weak areas..

Info can be found here and on TheRangerStation on where to add them.
