Thought the group might appreciate this. Torsen diff was destroyed in service. Wheel teeth are stripped and some of the helical gears are as well. Fortunately the ring & pinion survived.
Going back together with new bearings and a replacement Torsen….

Rear driveshaft joint service. New Spicer 5-1350X non greasable. Better seals and figure I’ll just replace when they wear.

Nearly had a diff stranded at YRC last week. I was the last pickup at my local terminal.
Since they shut down I’ve seen rates go up 2-3X from CA to WA

My hero today.
Some close throw shaking on the yoke casting around the bore and very carefully on the bolt face did the trick.

M1151A1.
Removing rear diff for service. The driveshaft to pinion bolts are stuck well. Tried WD40 in the back side of the bolt hole bores along with mapp gas heating. No joy.
Trying air hammer flat anvil on the pinion next. Then destructive removal.
Any other suggestions?

I’ve added it to the side panels with some measured improvements. The op panels need some work but I was also concerned about exhaust heat above the muffler

Not much help on a tire shop recommendation. That said I’ve done this a few times. The o rings can be tiresome unless they sit well in the groove while you bolt the wheel halves together.

Common problem.
Test for restriction…
Replace with legal replacement…
Members should stop talking about modification or elimination of emission equipment on this forum perhaps [emoji848]

You need the ECV/REV retainers.
A few members also have reproductions available.
The standard 998 retainers can also be drilled to fit the existing well nuts on a budget.

Took the 1151 to a local show yesterday evening. Really needs paint this season. Lots of interest in the rig [emoji106]

Here’s the model number.
I bought this unit several years ago, so I’m not sure if it’s still available.
The neck has machined slots for a square bracket along with a hook loop
