At some point today, my drivers rear wheel bearing decided to give me a big hard dickin.

Bearing is shot, bad. Took out the axle seal, causing the axle to ride crooked. So. Brakes are toast, ABS ring is ruined.

Se the metal filing cotton ball? That's the abs sensor.

ufck.

So. Got the axle out. It's bad. Real bad. There's metal in the entire axle tube. I now have to pull the other side and the diff cover so I can clean it out and cross every part of my body that the gears and locker are OK.

So here's what came out. As you can see, the outer race is ruined. And the cage inside the bearing pretty much exploded.

So the axle shaft looks OK. As I rolled it on the floor of the garage the bearings just fell out. It was so dead. I can replace all the parts. I just need somebody to press the new shiat on. And if the diff is OK, I will. If the diff and/or gears are toast, I'm building the Titan diff.

Got the passenger side shaft out. It was in pretty good condition. Same metallic gear oil everywhere. But no chunks of metal. I'm really hoping nothing of substance made it to the diff. I'll find out tomorrow.

Differential is good. No damage. Picked up a press off of Craigslist for $60, going to piece meal the repair. It'll be just good enough to run the truck until the Titan axle is done. Found a new ABS ring online for $50, new bearings at autozone for $18 each, and seals for $20 each. Should be able to get it back up by next weekend. Then I start buying Titan axle parts.

starting with gears. that's the first thing to get done. then it's new everything. bearings, abs, parking brake, and disc/caliper. give me two or three months. the Titan axle will be under the back of this thing.

Glad to see things are coming along without any major suprises. I'm sure you're happy this happened close to home and not, you know...... Out in Moab.

Hey! I didn't realize that was you that we took the rear tire off of. Have you repaired the back up light in the rear fender? Or was that someone else
Haha. Yep. That corner is still ufcked up. I haven't been able to find a replacement corner piece yet. They're like made of gold or some shiat.
