Conclusion: Massively seize diff/pinion bearing on diff shaft, the bearing brace even turned into the housing. My transmission guy told me that this diff had suffer way before I put that tranny in. Whatever, we have rebuilt the diff completely today with another one and new seals and bearing. Transmission is back in the van, i'm back from a test drive, all is fine. This family can safely go home now I have decided to not charge the customer. I just want him to pay my transmission guy... and he won't charge much. Ben http://www.benplace.com/ |
