    Default Welded?

    I was drivin my truck yester day and it strted revin fast and not pullin that much so I shut er down and checked to see if I had stiped any gears or if something was loose so I couldn't find anything wrong so I fired her up and it did the same thing so I thought diffs sre gone so I tore it down and found a toothless front bevel gear which didnt suprise me but when I opened up the pumpkin on the rear end it looked like thespider gears had been welded to the endside of the pumkin. I have had blown diffs befor but have never seen anything like this befor and I was woondern if you all might know what might have caused this.

    Thanks

    Hey what part of kentuckey is that like places by is do u know where sandyhook or morehead are?
    I used to lose my balls all the time. If you are afraid of losing them then just get a tupperware bowl, some grease, and a toothpick. Dip the toothpick in the grease and then catch a ball.

    The "pumkin" is the diff cup which houses the spider gears if I'm not mistaken, oh it's almost halloween, maybe that pumpkin ?

    Man I've had diff bearings lodge themselves so deep into the diff I just had to say boo.
