off to the diff shop

[clean454]

so sunday i was out in some sand getting my boat out of the water
and i guess the sand was supper thick and i got stuck in 2x4 so as i was rocking the truck back and forth to engage 4x4 this happened

notice the ring gear bolts



just a little loose huh



the gears and everything else ended up being ok just needed new bolts





and a broken bolt


off to the shop


luckily the shop that originally did the rebuild about 2 years ago
were honest and fixed everything for me no problemo!

pics kinda suck but u get the point

Did they not use locktite and torque them properly?? Nice shop, I would run in the other direction. LOL

Glad to hear the shop that did the work is gonna fix it for ya at no charge.

Like retorq said,maybe they did not do something they should have and now this happened.People make mistakes and or forget to do things that should have been done,Atleast the shop is gonna man up and take full responsibility.

Keep us posted.

yea i got it back yesterday and they took full responsibility
they think it was because when they rebuilt it they used a after market ring gear bolts
so they are not as strong at factory
and there was thread locker just not alot

so they used oem bolts and used a bunch of locker so we shall see how long this one lasts
and its great shop with tons of credibility so idk what happened
i guess they cant produce everything perfectly

Clean95:

What kind of lift do you have, and can you tell tell me what you're running as far as wheels/tires? What brands/models, diameter, widths, etc. It looks like they are 17x? with 35x12.5's but who knows.

I tried to send you a PM but evidently I haven't posted enough. I like your stance and am looking to emulate it with my 92 used for hauling a couple PWC's.
