[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 89086, member: 2"] Sooo, I'm thinking when I pulled the rear end apart and put in the new posi center section, the bearings had too much preload and ended up eating themselves. When driving around, I kept getting louder and louder gear noise. It always had more gear noise than I liked but one time it was noticeably louder and after coming off the highway, I got a shutter with a LOT of noise. Well, I limped the truck home and while I waiting to get it in the garage, if I had to take it out, I kept it under 60 km/hr as it seemed to do ok at slower speeds. Finally, I got my truck in to my friends garage and I wish I took video! I took the rear cap off and the oil looked like liquid metal there were so many shavings in the fluid! :Yuck: Normally, gear oil is black, but this was definitely silver. Gerald started to pry at the center section to check the teeth and as he pried on the ring gear, it would move up and down 1/4" to 3/8"! It also moved side to side a bit. I've never seen anything like this. We took the end caps off and you could see the bearings were toast, in fact, one end fell apart as we had it on a bench. :jawdrop: So, long story short. I cleaned out the housing and put new bearings on the carrier and installed it with much less preload. All the teeth check out and [I][B]look[/B][/I] ok. There would be maybe 1000 to 2000 km on the misaligned gears I am suspecting. As I didn't change the pinion gear or ring gear, I'm just hoping they didn't wear funny and weren't damaged and will function fine now that they are aligned again. Time will tell! :bag: Anyway, here is a picture of one of the races and tapered bearings that fell out. [ATTACH=full]4246[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]4247[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
