drewmech Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 So got tired of listen to the front end whine figured swapping fluid and fishing silver goo out would shut it up. Well less metal goo more metal flakes. So time to research new front diff and half shafts (starting to get a rattle from the driver side). All the rebuilt units I've found are around $1500. I don't even dare go and ask what the dealership wants. So this seems to be a common enough problem any one know the best place to get a rebuilt unit? All the threads I found by searching where from several years ago. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewmech Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks. Found a thread that mentioned an improvement in the 04' front diff. Has this been included in all rebuilt units? Or is it a crap shoot on which one you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazerdave2000 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I tried to also get mine from there but as you said it's not available anymore. I seen them online from like a aftermarket company. Best bet is to just get it rebuilt. That's what I'm doing to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
