Got the cruiser back today from the local drivetrain specialist. Complete front diff overhaul. The bearings were beyond gone and there was some scoring and minor wear grooves in the ring. As you can see from the picture included this was the shape of the bearings. Major galling and scoring both on the rollers and the races, the worst of the bearings was the DS bearing (Same side as the diff locker)
Glad to have the truck back, it took three days to get it back. Also had the mechanic swap the birfs around, put new seals in and repack everything.
