This past Memorial Day weekend I was driving down Interstate 10 at 70 m.p.h and it sounded like something under the truck exploded. Turned out the center pin in the rear axle came loose. Ended up getting a ring and pinion at a pick in pull yard in San Antonio to get the truck back to Houston. To make a long story short, I’m getting both axles rebuilt with 3.73s and Detroit Tru Trac front and rear. I’m running 33x10.50s and the truck doesn’t see much off road use. The differential shop said it should hold up just fine. I asked them about upgrading to 30 spline axles and they thought it was a waste of money. I guess time will tell. The shop is Pyle Bros. in Baytown, Texas. They’ve been in business for over 40 years.
