  1. Ok good news. It is NOT the front differential. It is the front bearing in the transfer case. So here is my thesis. The snap crackle pop was the chain skipping, which when it grabbed from slipping it "shocked" the front bearing and destroyed it. So tonight I drained the transfer case to see how bad the fluid was with shavings, and there were no real shavings just super fine flakes. So hopefully no hunks out from the damage.

     

    So tomorrow I will be tearing the t case down (again) to replace the chain and the bearing. Hopefully no other bearings are destroyed. The front bearing was 65 dollars alone my cost. ( I work for a custom shop as a fabricator and the performance guy).

  2. I have tuned my truck (personally), drop in k&n and a muffler. That's it. There was a 110,000 on the old diff. Carrier was wiped on that one and destroyed the case. This was a jasper reman. 135,000 on it now. So 25k on this diff total.

    I'll add that there was no prior indication of this happening. No weird noises or whining at all. And I didn't even brake stand it. I launched about half throttle and that is when it happened. There is no fluid leaks and it doesn't even vibrate. So really not sure what happened.

  3. Yea I agree. I have yet to be pulled over in my SS. I had a 96 neon that I loved. I did full bolt ons and a full koni suspension with Mopar extreme high rates. I got pulled over in that car within a month more than I got pulled over in years. Profiling cops I swear lol.

    Here is the neon. Before and after the suspension then when I painted the wheels. This car really grew on me.
