Diff question
Guys, I have a friend that wants to do some light off roading with us but has the following problem. I don't have an LR3 so I'd like your opinion. What would you do? What's the worst possible outcome if the diff breaks, keeping in mind it's being replaced anyways? Thanks
"Brett,
I got some bad news yesterday. *I dropped off the lr3 at the dealership for programing of the second key and a couple of other issues. *One being a ringing sound that started day 2 of ownership. *It turns out to be the rear diff drive shaft bearing according to the service advisor. *They are willing to replace the whole diff but the part will not be hear for 7-10 days. *They have given me the truck back to drive until the part arrives. *This most likely puts me past the Sept 21 Cliffs trip.
But…..I had an idea if it is a bearing and they are replacing the whole diff why not take it on the cliffs trip. *Worst case is the whole thing craps out and I have to tow it from seneca to Orland park. *Not the end of the world.
Your thoughts???
FYI before I brought the truck into the dealership I changed the fluid on both diffs and transfer case. *The front and Transfer case fluid looked like new. *The rear diff fluid was black and smelled burnt so I do think they are right about a bearing in the rear diff.
Thanks,
Rob"
