Anybody know the go-to for front diffs? I see RA has A1 Cardone remans for $815 plus $130 core. Not sure if there are better places to go or if I should get this one rebuilt locally if possible.

I am looking at the Zumbrota reman diffs on RA. I see they are actually owned by Randy’s Worldwide formerly Randy’s ring and pinion. I have worked with randy’s before.

Shit, I was driving in a detour zone and there I guess the people who live on that street are angry because some dude came out in the street and started throwing shit at my truck when I was only doing 5 over so I got pissed, threw it in reverse and pinched it from a dead stop. I got some tire squeal and then a noise. I have some oil dripping and a clanging sound if I drive it. I’m hopping it’s just the u-joint straps and the driveline put a hole in the pan. Been here before.

Ah hell..

Got it towed home; the LF axle is broken. Gear oil leaking so I’m not sure if the front diff can be saved until closer inspection. Oh well, could have been worse.

Dammit man! That sucks!

That’s just the carrier. I don’t think I want to rebuild this myself.

That one is $120 more and the warranty is 2 years; the A1 Cardone is 3 years. I looked online and most places are around $1000 shipped from various vendors. The A1 is $792 shipped from RA and they’re in stock with a 7 day delivery time which is good. The Zumbrota one says there’s a 7 day DELAY.

I see now you have more options for a NBS. I can only get ATP or Zumbrota for my NNBS.

Seems like that would be the way to go
