m920 broken axle

[R Racing]

After doing some hunting online and Castle Bravo really getting my curiosity up I found a online TM ( I need to find that 1 in paper) and he is indeed correct . So hopefully the axle from e bay does the trick. I'll let you know how how it goes when the new axle shows up. Thanks for everyones help in this matter

Here is a update. Pulled Axles out and neither broken ? but the drivers tire and axle are not engaging in rear? Pulled the pumpkin ( its a detroit Locker so both axles should always be engaged ) stuck the axle in the gear and it spun freely ?? Went home and grabbed spare pumpkin and was going to swap pumpkin for punpkin. But after cleaning up the spare there was too much rust damage to the ring gear to use. So I took appart my original locker and found the allignment ring had spun on the spider gear and was holding the axle gear from engaging with the spider gear. I'll post pictures later. But I realigned the ring ,axle gear , and spider and all is good and locks up

So did you learn anything from this experience? Alway check the damage before ordering parts. Also a famous George Carlin line. You should never assume. When you assume you make an ass out of u and me



Oh BTW nice job on the repair. I would not have a clue as to what to do or what was wrong!

Unfortunately Its really hard to dissasemble a rear of a m920 on a 18 percent grade ( also not safe) Don't mind I bought a axle at all. I have 2 trucks that use the same part. The shop I was at wanted to send the locker out ( as they had never had 1 appart and didn't want to touch it) I have rebuilt rears in the past ( just not 1s this large LOL ) I was happy to get it back on the road again.

Good Job Jim, only thing that would stop me is getting it out. Them things ain't small and I tend to work by myself. Post the results when she moves again!

Cheers.

Props for getting in there and finding the problem! Also great job snapping a few pics and letting us know what happened, it's a great resource for others!

Between this and your tranny valve body/manifold thread you've been a great help to the community and to all the people snagging these bigger trucks.
