    100 Series Front Diff Failure - Random Chat

    I guess I'll add myself to the registry. 2006 LC, mods in SIG Situation: slurry of snowmelt/ ice combined with fairly deep pebble bed. If I had to guess, after the truck lost momentum and my right foot reacted accordingly I was probably running between 3-4k RPM when my glorious TOYO MT caught...

    Another blown front diff - looking for some options before going down the rabbit hole

    Update... truck is fixed. See pic below. Considering my lack of familiarity with driveline shops around me as well as needing to be back on the road, the truck is now the recipient of a brand new front diff assembly. I did keep the old diff and I am exploring options to equip the truck with...

    Blown diff in the U.P - looking for some advice

    Rig is back together... ring gear as suspected. I'm going to tear down the old diff myself to see the extent of the damage. Now that the dust has settled I'm going over options moving forward - I am interested in getting F/R lockers now at this point and I kept the old front diff that was just...

    Another blown front diff - looking for some options before going down the rabbit hole

    So what you're saying @ga12r1 is that I need to just bite the bullet and finally get a 200. :rofl:

    Another blown front diff - looking for some options before going down the rabbit hole

    @suprarx7nut ha no offense taken. I know what my skills are and more importantly what they are NOT. One big reason I was reluctant to put a winch up front is all the freaking salt here... guess it's a moot point now, although from what I've read the Warn Zeon and Comeup winches have pretty...

    Another blown front diff - looking for some options before going down the rabbit hole

    @suprarx7nut I chuckled to myself on that one... I've paid my dues with knuckle rebuilds on 80's and all sorts of other things but I'd still rate my monkey skills at 3.5 :banana:. Hope to get some pictures of the diff opened early in the week to have some definitive answers. After mulling...

    Blown diff in the U.P - looking for some advice

    Ha, funny you mention that. Nostalgia for my old 97 LX got me yesterday. After some research I found it in Pagosa Springs, CO. That was a BIG mistake selling that truck. @Sandroad Any particular reason for the regret? I see you're in a 200 and the reason I ask is I've been looking hard at...

    Another blown front diff - looking for some options before going down the rabbit hole

    2006 so it apparently has the stronger front end

    Another blown front diff - looking for some options before going down the rabbit hole

    Agreed about the autopsy. I was cursing myself on the 3 hour trek back to town that morning because had I HAD a winch, I would have reluctantly let the truck nestle down into the wash and just winched myself out. I'm just also pretty surprised at how easily it seemed to break. I feel I've...

    Blown diff in the U.P - looking for some advice

    Also FWIW - I saw two amazing Cruisers on 131 S coming home and I'm curious who you were. Gorgeous pre-95 80 series, silver with maroon lower trim on what looked like 35's towing a little tractor. 2003-2005 gold LC Anyways, the shop towing my truck was nice enough to loan me the ugliest rust...

    Another blown front diff - looking for some options before going down the rabbit hole

    Well cheers to me for joining yet another not-so-exclusive 100 club: Failed Brake booster - ✅ Blown steering rack - ✅ Blown front diff - ✅ How it happened - Decided to take a solo trip to the U.P. in Michigan for some exploring without all the tourists (mistake #1). If anyone has...

    Differential replacement question

    Having literally just grenaded my front diff 3 days ago, I can tell you it's going to take a lot more than just daily driving and mild trail use to blow a diff. I had visions of @ga12r1 Lee Sumner using a little too much skinny pedal to get through part of a trail that had re-frozen over some...

    Rust Prevention or reductions: Fluid Film Product any good?

    FWIW another vote for fluid film... it's easy to apply and when you need to wash it off it's not a big deal with a pressure wash. I live in Michigan, my LC is my primary vehicle and I do frequent trips between my home and Indianapolis. Tons of snow and salt. My truck was a southern truck with...

    Steering Rack replacement - What else to fix/ replace?

    I searched - found a few threads about the steering rack replacement which I am not going to venture myself, but not much else about other things to take care of while the truck is under the knife. L side of steering boot started weeping a fair amount of power steering fluid a couple of weeks...
