Its Broken!!!

Comming back in from manhatan and just before my turn to the house BANG! The rearend decides to let go. I think it shered off the pinion teeth. Now I have a good reason to put the new ring and pinion in. The only thing that sucks is I have to pay someone to do it. We'll I guess I just shot about 300 if I can save the carrier. I guess the brute force possi was to much for the gear. At least the old girl got me 99% of the way home and didn't leave me stranded somewere.

just interested about that posi, i have the morosso also with a little more than 20thousand miles on it and it's gettin pretty cranky !! how long have you had it and how many miles did you have on the gearset

The unit was in when we bought the truck. It's probably got 2000 miles on it but I think it was set up rong to begin with. The gears are suposidly brand new but once again I'm relying on someone elses word. I started to notice a vibration last tme I drove it so it was probably eating itself up little by little.

The Results: 1 spider gear broke in two, 1 pivot shaft bent, 1 pivot shaft lock bolt looks like a pretzel, 4 springs bent, 2 spring plates broke in PIECES, And probably a ruined carrier because when the pivot shaft came loose it came out collided with the pinion gear bent at about a 45 degree angle and wollowed out the hole for the shaft. The gears still look good but everything else I think is TOAST. The pop I heard was the spider gear that broke trying to come out of the case.
