front diff pops in 4x4 ??? and bad news

[Donnie Yukonie]

well my 35s are gunna have to wait even longer so this morning leaving work a bunch of us guys parked on a hill section of grass well we had to use 4x4 to get up the hill but mine pops when i hit the gas when engaged in 4x4 ?? im hoping its one of the axle aysmblys but it doesnt sound healthy at all, my gut tells me DIFF and while up under the truck looking for ripped or torn CV boots (found none) my waterpump is leaking which explains why i was a gallon low the monday i was just 130 dollars short this month to pay with them with cash now this s#$t happens

Well, not that it helps much but at least you found out about the needed repairs before you spent the extra cash on tires.

I just regeared only to find out that I needed a custom rear drive shaft which was supposed to fix all the vibration issues. It took care of most of it but it looks like I'm going to need a custom shaft for the front also. At the very least I'll have to have the stock one balanced. Oh and I also need a new Pitman arm but while I'm in there, might as well change the Idler arm and tie rod ends. It just goes on and on doesn't it?
