Re: 1972 Highlander 6.0/4L80E/LoMax

O.K. guys, here's the axle swap.

I bought an 84 M1008 off of craigslist. Parted it out and kept the axles which were the only items I was really after. The teardown begins.



I sterted finding all sorts of problems like this grenaded hub lock gears.



And half the teeth were sheared off of the ring gear as well as the pinion gear teeth. When the teeth let go they got caught up in the carrier chewing up everything in the pumpkin. Sadly I don't have any pics of this, I wasn't thinking of the camera at the time, only explatives and plots of P.O. murder.

So the parts quest began. I'll try to remember everything and break it all down into a list, I have included part numbers where available):
