Savage Diffs

[ljoncp]

Jahay, Im trying to fit my rear bulletproof diff into some GH alloy bulks i just bought (truck is dissasembled) and the GH bulk halves wont close with the bulletproof diff inside. The bulks close up fine without anything in them, but when i try to close them with the diff inside, something is fetching up or rubbing and making it so it wont close. I dont think its the ring gear itself because when i turn the ring gear (while inside the alloy bulks) it does not make the tick tick tick tick sound it would make if the gear was hitting the alloy bulk.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I had this issue recently with GH bulks and brand new BP diffs out of a XL. Turned out the case was not machined correctly and was not the correct shape to fit one of the diff bearings. One of my cases fit fine and the other required some shaping with a round file. Have a look at the bearing areas on the case when you have the diff in. I had what can best be described as a flat spot. Should have been curved to match the bearing.
