Looks a bit like my old '91. One of the best trucks I had. Sold it to my oldest who blew the engine, then the trans after replacing the engine. She is hell on wheels. haha

Didn't even include I've replace several panels on it due to smashing it up in the woods, or backing into a mailbox, or breaking off the driver's mirror 3 times, both doors, both fenders, tailgate, and back glass I've replaced at some point hahahaha

Good news, I said I was patiently waiting on the transfer case to die, well......













The rear end popped a c clip. Peg leg rear end now. Guess I'll be popping the cover off tonight, praying another rear end didn't grenade

I can honestly say ive never had a rear pop a c clip. Had one destroy the carrier bearing so bad that the trucks back end would wag from side to side when you stepped on the gas. Due to the whole planetary shiftin all around. Drove 45 minutes home like that not knowing what it was.

They are crap. The only place they belong is in a front rear of a daily driver Square. They work very well up front good for pulling out and let go at 20mph.

I guess I'll just find another 3.42 rear end. Lpl to be honest this wasn't an issue until I started acting like a fool lately in the s10 and peeling out on turns and slinging the ass to the right real hard

That will kill them. Is it a 2wd? If so swap in a 8.8 stronger and later ones have disc brakes and posi carriers are relatively common. Get one from an explorer

4x4, would love to swap in a later model disc rear, but I think I may need a longer drive shaft for that to happen
