Re: My Latest Toy - 72 K5 Blazer CST
I couldnt take the rear diff whining any longer. I ordered a full bearing kit and pulled it apart today. It was fairly clean inside since I basically serviced it twice already. The large pinion bearing was destroyed! I couldn't get a good pic of it but the race was no where as bad as the bearing. Wow!! Its a whole new truck. I thought I liked driving it before. I cant afford to drive it every day but I'm going to enjoy it while the weather is nice. I also changed the power steering pressure hose. That's one more leak checked off the list.
