Your carrier had a rust spot on it anyway. Clearly time for a new one.

That depends how many pieces of the crown gear were lodged in it. Maybe it would have been permanently locked?The copper air line looks like it was about to default the locker to open position
I went back down to the Hammers a couple weeks ago. When they say to be careful when reversing out of a jam and to try not to do so with the diff locked they were not kidding. I’ve beaten the tar out this diff since 2014 so my time was coming.OOPS!
How did you manage that?
Yeah, figured with the scoring on the carrier it was a reverse shenanigan. Heard several times the fronts pop pretty easily in reverse. I've dodged the bullet so far.I went back down to the Hammers a couple weeks ago.

I’ve backed out of holes and over rocks with the diff locked so many times I pretty much forgot the rules. I’m going to take my time and do all the work myself. Will also yank the housing free to gusset and truss it. If I pop that diff again we’re going bigger.Yeah, figured with the scoring on the carrier it was a reverse shenanigan.

My 78 Ramcharger sported a Ford high pinion with king pins and all the good stuff. I should have kept that thing.High pinion Dana 60 with unit bearings and a 3 link, coil overs an a front anti-rock?
My kind of Christmas present
Just get a custom one made with 1/2" tubes, Reid knuckles and 2 1/2" Rockwell stubs. Should only set you back $18k.My 78 Ramcharger sported a Ford high pinion with king pins and all the good stuff. I should have kept that thing.
We can build a custom 9.5 with 80 outters for about $4k. My drothers would be dual 60’s with custom length shafts. 8 lug no worries.Just get a custom one made with 1/2" tubes, Reid knuckles and 2 1/2" Rockwell stubs. Should only set you back $18k.
I wouldn't want to give up a FF rear end though. I don't recall ever seeing a FF D60 rear.We can build a custom 9.5 with 80 outters for about $4k. My drothers would be dual 60’s with custom length shafts. 8 lug no worries.
Custom rock jock or such. The 14ff is overkill and hangs low.I wouldn't want to give up a FF rear end though. I don't recall ever seeing a FF D60 rear.
If I was getting that creative and blasphemous I'd lean towards a 14 bolt shave rear and a custom 14 bolt shave front. Because, why not at that point? Or course that probably means I should be driving something different if I'm considering that. Not exactly a sensible option for an 80.
Yeah, but you can run 1,500HP through it and it'll hold together. That should stand up to you at Hammers. Should ... I've seen the videosCustom rock jock or such. The 14ff is overkill and hangs low.
I was afraid of that. Notorious as I be, there exists in me a passion for moderation. I’ve been there twice and lost twice. I’ll give it a third shot and hope you will be there to witness my victory.Yeah, but you can run 1,500HP through it and it'll hold together. That should stand up to you at Hammers. Should ...

Your fuel is hot? I think this will be uncharted territory.Depends if I get a fuel cooler installed for Christmas!
