You apparently need a service manual. lol
Are you now trying to remove the carrier or are you just pulling our leg?

Was posting to find answer for my son who was having a hell of a time getting the rear differential out of his truck. He finally got a friend to come over and help him figure it out. Said it's not like anything he's ever worked on before. But.. Now he needs to find a replacement differential (that he can afford) so he can put it back together.
Came here to see if y'all have a buy/sell/trade section but don't see one. :(

2500 series are somewhat rare for finding parts compared to the 1500's. There are two complete axles on ebay with free shipping. If your son was having trouble removing the differential from his truck then IMO he has no chance in setting up a new ring & pinion.

There are rebuilt axles available that can be ordered and shipped and then yours is sent back as a core. These usually run around $1200-$1500.
