if somethings wrong...you take it back. thats how it works. nobody is gonna pay you, or come get it. it might suck, but life does sometimes. grow balls and go on

I think an original setup error is fairly likely, but far from a certainty. An example of something else that could go wrong, leading to very rapid failure, is water contamination from a deep water crossing, especially if the vent wasn't hooked up correctly. It is VERY suspicious that 89 is not cooperating with this. 2 hour drive or not; I'd take a 2 hour drive for a few hundred bucks.

I'm not dropping it back off because I already wasted to much time and money on a rear that was "freshly rebuilt with less that 200 miles on it." I was gonna pay 200, I got there checked the fluid and it was black and metalic. He said give me 150 its yours and If something isn't right with it I will come get it or find a way. I gave him 160 and was on my way.
He now won't come get it cause he isn't a "delivery service" and I don't wanna waste more time and money to drop it back off cause I already wasted to much on this pos that was supposedly a good rear. He hosed me... If he is gonna be a dick and not compensate me a little for my time, effort, and money I put in this thing than I'll let him be an asshole. I'll keep it so he doesn't do the sell it to someone else and lie again.

I'll drive it until the howling gets to annoying or it blows up. The howling is the worst at 50mph. You can hear it all the time but from 45 to 55 its the worst then it quiets down and then when you start to hit 70 it slowly gets louder again.

the nothed ring gear its self wont make any noise,have had 2 7.5's w/4.56's set up that way and no noise or broken teeth cause of it.

same 2.3 turbo owner blow the spiders out x3 of the rear end to start with?

If the axle was "rebuilt" you should have had no problems with getting 99% of the grit out of the axle. stand the axle housing on end and spary brake cleaner down the tubes, with a rag stuffed in the diff to catch the crap etc.

Now if you just sprayed out the diff and "gear slaped" a set of gear 's & bearings and replacemt damged parts in it, you and or your shop have really bad ethics. axles should NOT be "gear slaped" after having scrapnal in them,but "rebuilt".

This has gone on long enough.

BOTH OF YOU grow up and find a way to resolve this.

Putting obstacles in the way just strings it along. ENOUGH!

If a two hour drive is really such an obstacle, TAKE SOME FN PICTURES. You can post a video and stills of a rag but not stills of the contact pattern? BS. Or perhaps a video of you moving the pinion flange? THIS is why I'm finding it hard to believe you. I have no independent knowledge of the quality of Mike's work and if you had been cooperating, I would be a LOT less skeptical.

But your photos are always just a little too far afield to authoritatively prove your claims, and you seem to be operating on ego. Ego is a very bad argument.

I already have a vid. I'll take another then... I didn't take pictures of the inside housing. When you have gear oil all over your hands and shit I didn't feel like cleaning em up and taking pictures when its 11 at night. I need to change the oil again so i'll take pics. All the metal that was in it, is now in my drain pan and in my used oil drum.

I'm not operating on an ego. It pisses me off that Mike thinks this rear is cherry when he saw what that oil looked like...

I probably won't get a a vid or pic on here till Thursday night. No time next two nights

 

[kevinsranger]

i dont know man, i have dealt with mike a few times already and i have nothing but good things to say so far, he gave me great prices on the things i bought and so far everything is just as described. hell he answers questions i have every day for things he didnt even sell me and the advise was never wrong.

 

[89_Black_Beast]

Took a vid from inside the truck when coming home from work and one in my drive with it jacked up...

Remember when I'm doing 50 my speedo reads 65 give or take.

Won't get the pics until I have time to pull the cover, maybe friday night if not then hopefully sunday.

 

[bottledgt]

yeah i dont really hear any whining in that

 

[89_Black_Beast]

how can you not?...the howling noise is the rear, not a supercharger...

right when i hit 4th gear is when it starts...

 

[bottledgt]

just sounds like normal video road noise

 

[89_Black_Beast]

its not "normal video road noise" with the windows up...The truck doens't have big knobby tires on it either. Its lowered... just stay out of the situation at hand.

 

[MAKG]

Video sound is not good, and it isn't good enough in this instance for people to hear what you do.

I suggested a video of you flopping the companion flange, if it is floppy. ANYTHING else must be a still, or it will not be believable. What I don't understand is why it takes so long. Remove the back cover, spend 5 minutes cleaning yourself up (or just take off your rubber gloves...), and poke a camera at the contact pattern.

It HURTS your credibility substantially to piss around like this. Make the evidence undeniable, or you're wasting everyone's time.

 

[89_Black_Beast]

shit sorry you don't live my life... i don't need to explain to you this is a pain in my ass and isn't top priority. I have other shit going on not just this... I work 50 hrs a week, have night class 3 days a week and have baseball 2 nights a week so cut me a fuckin break i'll get to it.

 

[bottledgt]

you post a sucky video that tells nothing and yet you tell me to stay out of it for stating the obvious problem with the video? what thefuck ever man. i think ill comment more now when i see fit

i bought the other rear from mike, the explorer 8.8, i got it for a great price, and the oil was good enough to be reused if i really wanted to, there was no problem what so ever with it, also got a brand new lift from him that had no flaws. stop bashing the mans name on here if your not gonna show this so called "proof" like pics of the contact patch or something.
