So she broke. Lol but not in a 6.0 way.

Rear diff pinion bearing went out.

While I was scoping it out I noticed my springs looked off.

Hard to see but they are twisted off straight. Basically making the front off diff point to the ds every so slightly.

I don’t know if it was cause of bearing failure but feel it can’t help.

Factory diff out and ready for strip down of usable parts....and to re acquainte myself and possibly break stuff on old diff.

Old diff tire down as much as I’m going to. Basically just caliber mounts left.

“New” diff on crane with “new” springs. (160,000km) on them.

Just have to get old diff out of shop and taking away to metal dealer now so have some room.

Then full tear down of “new” diff.

Will be adding new brakes(all of them) new shocks, new oils, new u joints, also be stripping down and painting diff and as much of frame as I can manage.

Cool thread. First time checking it out thanks @Need 04 Wine

Nice rigs in here. Mine is an 06 regular cab xlt 4x4. Bought it stock, have done quite a bit to it.

Mods so far:

Deleted and studded
New heads with hardened seats and o-ringing
Powermax turbo
BD up pipes
Tuned FICM
Blue spring
SCT liveware with innovative custom tunes
4” exhaust

Lots of non performance stuff I won’t bore you guys with. It’s a good truck. I love the 6.0. I tow 15k with it all the time. I’ve been 28k total weight once with a full dump trailer of crushed rock.

Currently only has 84k miles

Few pics before I took the lift off







Lift taken off for fifth wheel towing:




Cheap cooper 35x12.50’s on an 8” wheel = too much butt pucker towing heavy. Added Michelin defenders and 08 mirrors:

Stock turbo out and powermax in

Holy crap @bob that’s not a garage that’s a shop!

I can get to the pics of your turbroskie install but I cannot seem to load the videos(from phone) I’ll try on laptop tomorrow though.

That’s a good build list with all the major points covered, you got years of use ahead of you with that truck yet.

The new used springs, bushings out, washed up, scratched up and a healthy dose of Tremclad primer laid on them.

Shackles as well.

Got Energy suspension poly bushings to go in new.

Next up is to finish axle tear down and prep for primer.

Got the frame on truck painted other day. Wasn’t a great job but I plan on getting it a bit better if time allows.

If I can just find some time I’m hoping to have it all wrapped up by next weekend. But hunting season starts this Thursday ....

Lay off the sauce, rookie.

Bad glitch... tried reply. It went to circle of death, I left alone and showered came back and it was just sitting in reply still. Hit reply again, and boom three posts.

Lol. Oh well, wish I could blame the booze but there has been none lately.

Sleep deprivation level preacher has been reached.

New guy figures he should keep us up every 30 minutes, ****ing new guys.

Show the new guy the benefits of the booze. Then you can have the milk straight from the tap all to yerself.

You both win.
