Heeelllp!
I've finally accepted the fact that it's time to repair the ole truck's
('57 1/2-ton) rear. It is worn to the point to where the vibration from
the backlash is starting to loosen other hardware! During acceleration,
the slight tell-tail, high-gear whine is tolerable, but when you let off
the gas...arrggh. I suspect that the pinion gear bearings are worn causing
improper mesh and wear of crown and pinion. |:>(
Has anybody out there enough experience at rebuilding TF differentials? Is
it worth it or should I go to a later model rear axel? Are there new or
remanufactured replacement parts available anywhere?
