Default 156k miles and finally... ::UPDATE::

::the car breaks. I was pulling out of work and hear a loud crunch, grinding sound from somewhere behind. Father says that it could be the U joints if I am lucky. Car still gots forwards and shifts from gear to gear fine just lots and lots of noise. I am thinking possible my ring or spider gear or my T-lok took a dump. I will brave the elements tonight to let anyone curious know. Any other possiblities let me know.

Update:: Rear is out of the car. Got a much better look at it and determine the cause of everything. Two ring gear bolts had backed out and fallen into the bottom of everything. Totally ****ty. A total of 4 were backed out partially and two were gone. One was found, I did not find the other one. Also one bearing failed and the bearing cage fell into the junk. Gonna be ordering some new gears, bearings and a T-Lok rebuild kit in the next few days. Should be fun stuff

And the verdict is...... I blew the ring gears to pieces. Chuncks of gears and shims and bearing all over the inside of the pumpkin. Its good stuff, pulling the whole rear out to get rebulit

Ran them about 35k miles. One of the bearings failed according to my father just causing everything to go to hell. O well time to fix it
