[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1487410, member: 17493"] Well this failure is a new one on me. I have tracked the source down to a "hammered" in bearing race. Dont get me wrong, I like to hammer in races and bearings, but not by beating big dents into the top with a hard steel punch. When Rus dropped the diff of I rolled it over a few times. Other than the chipped tooth and missing ring gear bolts it looked fine. But it just didnt feel great when ya turned the pinion. It felt OK, but not great. I tore it apart to inspect the guts for any signs of gremlins. The original builder used a punch and put a few dents in the top lip of the large pinion race. The pinion bearing looked to showing normal smooth wear on the rollers, no pitting or scoring on them. So I wiped the bearing race clean and felt my rag "catch" something on the face of the race. In the area of the "dents" it pushed out enough metal to make the bearing ride over a couple speed bumps its whole life. It eventually hammered the race till it BROKE. I am going to blame the bad vibration/bump for rattling out the ring gear bolts. I have never removed a BROKEN race before. New on me.:wtf: [IMG]http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu181/ChopShopShots/Trucks%20misc/DSC03193.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu181/ChopShopShots/Trucks%20misc/DSC03192.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu181/ChopShopShots/Trucks%20misc/DSC03191.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu181/ChopShopShots/Trucks%20misc/DSC03189.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu181/ChopShopShots/Trucks%20misc/DSC03188.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
