    Question Front Differential

    So, i believe I have blown my Front Differential up. After a two hour trip of grinding sounding like it was coming from a wheel bearing (Started on my return to FT Bragg, so i drove it through and sucked it up) When i returned i parked it for the night and the next morning, i got a jack under it and to my surprise my wheel bearing was not at all bad. Next i went ahead and checked the CV axel but it's brand new. I unbolted the CV axel from the Front drive axel on the front diff and sure enough, i was spinning the axel with some serious grinding coming from it. I found a used front diff about an hour from me for $75 out of a burned truck. Dude called me on a Craigslist Add i put up and said he bought the truck for the motor/trans and the diff has been sitting. Does anybody have any tips or tricks for doing this swap? 07.5 LMM, 6 inch Fabtech lift.

    Eh, things happen. Only part that has me scratching my head is it hasn't been put in 4wd in months, and has never been 4wd launched or anything like that
