So i went out yesterday to some sand pits with some friends to ride a couple odysseys and ended up havin to pull someone out of the sand. afterwards on my way home my rear end starts binding up and clicking bad. So i limp it home, pop the diff cover, and i find that the unbolted side of the pinion shaft has been chewed up by the pinion gear. An i mean CHEWED UP!! Looks like a die cutter gone wrong.
Anyway i was curious if anyone has even seen this happen before or heard of the pinion depth mysteriously becoming grossly excessive, and destroying a rear end. luckily i have a donor ranger to pull the diff an swap quick to get back on the road.
Id have pictures but i managed to break my phone before i broke my truck lol.
Best sunday ive hade in a while lol.
