Ok fellas, I knew my Talion had a grinding coming from the front but it wasn’t binding so I went for a construction bash yesterday and sent the s.o.b. Anyway.
Got home this evening and tore it down and this is what I found. As you can see in the picture the Metal bearing retainer that actually holds the ball bearings in game out and my ring and pinion chewed it up. I’ve had this truck for a year and this is the 2nd time I had this type of bearing failure in a diff, the other time was on the rear diff but it didn’t destroy the ring and pinion.
I’ve been seeing a lot of guys post they keep chewing up diffs and if this is occurring and your not noticing it could be the culprit. I will say I have bashed on this truck plenty so it’s not a reoccurring issue, however I do run the stock recommended diff oils and just deal with it diffing out in the front. My rear has been fine with no more issues since I replaced the bearing and that was over 10 runs ago. I ordered a set of fast Eddie sealed bearings and a GPM HEAVY DUTY RING AND PINION SET, Figured it was worth a try.
