Ok so heres the scoop. I pulled the front diff out. heres what i got. The person before me plugged a whole in the bottom. So thats broken but i think either weldable or jb. But he race in he drivers side was spinning in housing. both clips were broken and the diff was pretty loose. Say a lot of backlash.
gears look good. Diff looks good.
Now what. Im nervous about half assing that race with punches or something. Its an awd tahoe. I want to keep it and dont need lazy problems.
Called the dealer and i can get a new set of cases for $511.+tax. Then i need all the bearings and seals.and ill deffinatly have to redo the pinion. So figure another 200 or better in parts. Plus i dont think im ready to do the install my self so theres another $400
Or i found locally a 2002 denaly with a 108k that has the same front end. $650. Ill try to talk him down with cash. Seams alittle high. But he said he will put a 6 month warrenty on parts.
What do you think? im leaning towards the working one.
