my f450 has developed almost a half turn of free play in the diff. very noticeable . who all would agree that its time to take a look inside it
not a locker i haven`t looked at it yetHalf driveshaft turn? Wow, spiders are gone I reckon? Was it open or a locker?
pretty sure its not empty i`ll know in the morningWonder if there is any oil left in it?
hope so` those are priceyMy money is on worn out spiders / thrust bearings. I'll bet ring and pinion are salvageable.
one in the middle has had a problem for a while the slack in mine tell me i`m gonna forget it goose it to hard and really make a messT'is but a mere flesh wound. There should be thousands of miles still on that diff, unlike this one........
I'd still be interested to see what you find though.

If you see a f450 seting it will because of the rear end. If it was mine i would push it in to a shop and pull it apart if i liked it. I have junked several because of the rear ends being out with bad houseings.one in the middle has had a problem for a while the slack in mine tell me i`m gonna forget it goose it to hard and really make a mess
