hows it going, well on the weekend we had a fair bit of rain so i took me sierra out and had some fun till i crushed my bearings in the rear diff and it looks as tho the diff is bent also. so im after some ideas on what to do wether it be get another sierra diff, fix this one or go something else all together.

some factors to consider i guess:
its a 96 coily, and has 32x11.5 R15s on 8 inch rims ( they sit pretty flush with the 6 inch bushwackers) and its lifted around 4-6 inchs

any ideas would be great.

thanks, adrian.

take it out and to a diff shop to be strengthened... can cost up to $500 to have done as often they need to straighten it after welding it - but you're very unlikely to ever bend it again!

Pity your so far away, We have both front & rear complete (drum to drum ) diffs siting here out of a 96 coily.
