Smoove Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 sounds like it may have broke an axle in the rear end ... might get lucky and the differential chunk be ok ... might be best anyways to replace the entire rearend if this is the case ... and if this is a daily driver, why would you want to go with a posi / lower geared rearend guys ?? unless of course this was a street machine I could definately see this upgrade ... Yes the my posi 4:10's get me off the line faster. Great for that once a year towing of a trailer. reduced down shifting when driving up a hill. Fixes gear ratio issue when running on Big wheels. Yes my truck is a daily Driver.

White Lightning Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 thanks for all the suggestions. the problem ended up being a broken spindel What?!?! Spindles are in the front! How did you not notice a broken spindle when looking under the truck? everytthing looked normal until we jacked it up glad you found it (what ever it was) and got it fixed ... just a loud pop and my truck stopped but thats it luckily it didnt happen when i was on the freeway or driving through the mountains absolutely ...

speeddemon0308 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 everyone must have missed the part about his break pedal going to the floor in the first post... i know he found the problem by why instantly jump to the expensive things ( trans, and rear end ) when he clearly stated his brakes went to the floor with little effort. that easly throws out that it is a problem with the brakes or something around them ( wheel cylinders, bad calipers, stuck brake shoes ect ) or in this case a bad spindle.
