I have a Differential bearing issue I want to take care of.
However I would like to be able to drive the truck while I do the repairs on the diff.
I know there are links between the Front Diff and the engine mounts on the 4x4 so can I just remove the front diff. and still drive the truck. Also I don't know if this can have an adverse effect on the transfer case (can I just leave a input shaft in the Xcase to prevent fluid loss, etc.).
I know we can drive the truck without the front CV joints, but my issue is in the diif. I need to change the bearings to both output sides and potentially the carriers and pinion bearings.
Any help or idea is welcome.
