1988 K1500 Rear axle Differential major malfunction
Hello guys got this k1500 from a buddy few months ago. Beenworking on the basic maintenance and I got hit with severe break down. It snuckright up on me, for the last month I heard a high pitch noise but wasn’t verynoticeable, then all of a sudden the grinding started. The truck started makinga horrible metal grinding noise whenever I let off the gas.ffice

Got under the truck an removed the shaft from the diff, theyoke had a lots of free play. Then I removed the diff cover. There was lots ofmetal shaving in the oil. <o></o>
Now I’m wondering if this diff/axle is a lost cause, or if Ican repair it right on a budget. I planon pulling the axle shafts an pulling out the diff on Saturday.<o></o>
Most of my auto experience is front wheel drive cars so I’ma bit lost, any advice would be much appreciated.<o></o>
