FwyFlyr Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 quote] What was done for the front diff noise if anything? Congrats on the 100 K miles! They looked at it a few times in the beginning, but the end of the day it was considered normal. I guess I just got used to it. I have had no driveline issues so, I guess it's no problem.

COJAM Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Engine/Trans/front and rear diff Rebuild....then your golden. Your going to get about another 20K and your going to be leaking, prolly out a trans and either yoru front or rear diff will go. I would just rebuild it all now...or buy a new truck.

SS_bnoon_SS Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Blah blah blah, they covered the basics, but if you want to do it right, here's what you're going to need to do... You're going to need to replace the crankshaft (something in a 4" stroke should work), rods, and pistons, and overbore the block .030. Get new/bigger injectors... and a new intake while you're at it. Oh, those exhaust manifolds must be shot by now too, so I suggest Pacesetter headers, which of course requires a new exhaust because they can't touch the stock exhaust or the whole thing will blow up. Even with a rebuilt engine, it's common for it to not like to breath on it's own (and being over 100, who can blame it, right?). That's why I would also add on some sort of artificial respiration to help it breathe at it's old age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
