Today i was turning around and needed to put truck in 4wd to get out of ditch, and the passenger side axle came apart at the nuckle, and broke the differential cone bracket to frame, question is can i disconnect front drive shaft and drive the truck the way it is with out loosing fluid, until i can find the parts i need? and where can i find just a new nose cone for the diff?

Aluminum Frame to Housing mount portion with 2 bolts? Not sure what you mean by Cone.

That s Terrible man, sorry for the bad Luck. If the housing is broke you may need a used C205 with same gear match as yours.

Ultimately you will need not one but 2 1/2 shafts as well as the other one could do the same. I am guessing you have approx 120 k Miles as they do not last much longer.

I would not run on it if the diff housing was not secure as the other halfshaft could vibrate the whole unit even with the driveshaft out and of course removal of that other broken 1/2.

Good Luck and again Sorry to here this jeff.
