Driving down i71 at 65mph my rear end made some horrendus noise and by time I got to the side of the road she was completely locked. Had my buddy come pull her from the gooseneck I had attached, and drag the gooseneck home. Got her towed to the farm.

When I got underneath I saw the yolk was out of the front. I didn't have any time to pull the differential cover off so I don't know how sever it is inside, but I need the truck running asap. Anyone know where I can get a new rear end or a good repair shop in central ohio. Truck is a 96 7.3 psd dually.

Guess I got everything figured out. Found a junk yard low milage rear end for $850. Going to do seals and bearings while I have it out. Really hate driving the chevy to pick up parts for a ford though!!!! I was soo dissapointed when she broke too. Only has 156k on her. My guess is that a pin broke, seal went, fluid went and the rest is history! She was smoking bad when I first got to the side of the road! I'll prolly have to do at least 1 universal too as she locked hard! Darn the luck.
