Differential (Boom)

[00Tahoez71]

Anyone ever explode a carrier? I thought I chewed up the spider gears, but when I opened the cover, big chucks of iron dropped out. Can the bolt from the pin cause that, if it backed itself out?

Thanks,
Corey

Can't really help you with any forensics from "big chunks of iron"

Will need more info. Pics are a plus

last rear i killed ate its self, the bottom of the rear was full of metal chunks, 1/2 the gears were sheared off the ring and pinion. im talking handfuls of metal, and i got large hands lol

Yeah, if the bolt broke and the pin slips out of position that will surely grenade the differential!

My bet is that a G-80 exploded.

while you are in there now just replace it with a Eaton Detroit, then all you may experience is some worn bearings sometime down the road, cost's a little more but it pays off in the long run.

Don't those like to oversteer if you're accelerating in a turn though?

I have never had problem, I just know I broke 2 factory g80's and then a different one I don't remember the name it was a $400 unit halfway decent but it broke too, put in the Detroit it didn't break but after 2 years I did wear the bearing's down, I was pretty severe on the NBS
