It is time to get rid of the one tire fire! Taking on the challenge of swapping out the differential, and installing a new diff cover as well. This wasn't too hard of a job, it was pretty time consuming. (I also snapped a carrier bearing bolt inside the diff housing!) I also never messed with the pinion, and I kept the same gearing. That helped out a lot with the Prussian and backlash tests. Everything turned out great, and I'm really happy with the results. I hope you enjoy, and don't forget to subscribe! Thank you.
