Found out why it broke...................
Had some extra time on my hands and decided to tear into my 12 bolt that went out on me. Removed the cover and saw that 3 of the ring gear bolts were sheared off. Yanked the carrier and found that all but 1 of the bolts were loose. Damnit! Whoever built this thing should be shot! <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/flipoff.gif" border="0"> Oh well, at least I got 3.73's and a better peforming truck out of it. Plus, I've trail spares now. Anyone need a 3.08 ring and pinion set? Just had to vent.

Sounds like someone did'nt know about thread lock and torquing when they built it....
NIce to have spare parts though, but what a way to get them...

It is nice to have parts cluttering the garage. The little lady doesn't like it as much, but oh well. I guess I could put it back together and have a working axle. But 3:08's are not what many people are looking for.
