So is it better to just remove the C-clips, and leave it that way?
Well the mystery has been solved, but it's not pretty!
My LSD clutches grenaded, luckily not destroying the entire rear end. I am gonna need a new tone gear and new carrier housing with new clutch packs. Grand total $1400!
On the bright side my mechanic skills are not in question anymore! Whew! But my wallet is much lighter! Ouch!
Thanks for everyone who helped out, still pretty pissed about all the cool crap I could have gotten for all that $$.
I'm not sure I followed what you did to repair the rearend. Did you install a aftermarket differential, tone ring, and gears? $1400 should have covered the costs of a DTT, gears, master install kit, tone ring and labor. It did on mine. Just curious....
I have no experience setting backlash on ring and pinions so I had a stealership do the install, I probably could have had a DTT intstalled for the same price, but I made the decision to stick to OEM.
I honestly didn't have days to think about it, I am 350mi from home and didn't know how long the remaining discs would last. I guess if one comes out and gets in between the ring and pinion or spiders, your screwed!
Yeah, way to make a guy feel all "warm and fuzzy". The first one lasted 75k if the next one does than I'll be fine with that, or I guess I have to!
