Got a decent amount of work done on the truck on my Christmas break. Waiting for parts again which is unfortunate because I have until New Years off but that is the way it is.
Got the driveshaft rebuilt and reinstalled!
I wasn't going to replace the housing bushing but noticed some pitting on it.
Got all the brakes plumbed now! Ended up needing to replace a section of hard line from the middle of the truck to the rear as the brake fitting was seized of course. Going to try to bleed everything once the locker is installed.
Started doing the locker today. After taking off the diff cover and inspecting things, I thought the carrier had more play than it should. After pulling it out, discovered that one of the bearings is completely toast.
The ring gear has a little bit of pitting on it but overall seems fine. I could replace but I don't feel like spending $400+ and then having to tear apart the pinion too.
So waiting on new bearings from Denny's Driveshafts.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and has a good New Years!
