Well, should have just started cutting. I am sure that will happen since this is no longer a daily and sits more than it is driven. Cast iron front dif housing is shipped, ordered it last night. Now I just ordered the front Eaton locker. Now I need gears, installation kit, and parts from a donor front differential. I would like to keep my stock housing in tact because it has not failed me yet. Would be nice to keep as a spare for when the new one dies.
Now what CV's seem to hold up and not break the bank? Going to a full front end rebuild most likely. 100,000 miles and 14 years on it. Not to mention Iowa salt riddled winters.
