i pulled the screwed rearend out of the pup today. when i say screwed, i mean SCREWED!!

when i was takin it out of the truck i could hear stuff jingling around in the case.

one thing that i will say...

the axles in these things are freakin beef! i dont see the axles being the weak point in these rearends.

anyways, i have some pictures of the mess i pulled out.


yeah, thats a broken spider gear, and carrier pin...


beautiful!!

check out that pinion gear




look at the holes for the carrier pin. theyre all wallowed out.




then the axles. theyre pretty damn beef!




SOOO, the verdict on this rearend is...

i COULD used it again it i had a few parts. if i put spiders back in it, and a carrier pin, and welded it all back up, id have a locked 4.10 geared rearend.

so, i might just have a spare rearend for the trucks. LMAO.

Must be an inherant design problem with Isuzu diffs, I've stripped the spider gears on two centres now - like you say, the axles are beef, just the centres letting it down

they must of fixed what ever the prob was when they started making the 12 bolt...I don't know of any one who has managed to tear one of them up
