SO the other day I was going home from work, it was snowing pretty bad and the roads were really slick and crappy so I popped the ole girl in 4x4 just for added reassurance. On my commute I have a nice 90* turn that is completely blind till about half way through the turn. Well I get to that half way part, and this grey toyota carolla was spinning and fishtailing all over the place out of control, SO I did what any reasonable 23 year old in a big 4x4 cummins would do and drove right into the front yard of some guy who lives on that corner, I drove in, drove out and kept on my way. Ran over a few rocks and such but all was good, So I thoight.

 

I got about another 1/2 mile up the road when "crunch" "snap" "bang" happen. Not sure what was going on so I popped er out of 4 by go and all was good again. Got home and in the parkling lot of our apartment I put it back in 4 by. Drove a little and when I started to slow down there was the noises again. I checked my u-joints they are all good. I believe something inside under that diff cover is broken, loose, falling apart ect.

 

SO any ideas what it could be? I have not had a chance to pull the cover yet. And with the snow just a coming non-stop the past few days I would really enjoy having 4x4 again lol

 

Thanks

Yeah, Ive been watching YouTube videos hardcore the last few days. Seems tricky but nothing I can't handle hopefully, with a buddy at least lol.

 

Seal and bearing kit, gonna do both u-joints, both wheel bearings, and the ball joints cause I'll already have it basically torn apart.

 

My ring, pinion and spider gears all look good as does the carrier so I'm just gonna clean em up and keep em. Should be a good day of fun! lol.
