Blew the rear end

[stealth78]

Yup! Dont know how the hell I did it. I drive it to have fun but its never been on the track or ever had anything but street tires on it, and its only got 28k. Blew the ring and pinion.

How do you know you blew the rack and pinion?

I just had it up on my buddies lift, pulled the cover and it looked like somebody from Maine was smiling at me!

 

[stealth78]

You realize I said ring and pinion right?

That sux, but now is the perfect time to go with a 4.88 and have some real fun on the street.

Sounds like a quality diagnosis to me! Lol.

Yep. I didn't realize you had actually pulled the diff cover off yet and breaking a Dana 60 R&P is rare.

 

[viperhauler]

yeah, mine's not even broke! well... some parts have, but not the r & p... maybe got a bad casting??

 

[stealth78]

Ya just my luck.... Think I'm going to stay with the 456's. I have every intention to get more ponies out of this thing, dont want to leave myself geared short later on.

 

[viperhauler]

i would keep the 4.56's...

I see an '05 in your future.

Not to laugh at your expense but the missing teeth on the gears analogy is great.

Was it low on fluid/leaking/whining like bitch? Kind of bizarre for it to just grenade on you.

What gear oil are you guys using for the rear end? I want to change the fluid in mine and was wondering what brand and viscosity royal purple? is there any additives from mopar that need to be added? thanks

Straight 90w mopar oil and Mopar friction lube 6oz is recommended

No signs at all! Fluid level was perfect, it was even clean golden brown when I drained it. Just chunks of gear stuck to the magnet inside the cover.

Thanks bro but I cant even imagine what the shipping would be on that.
