Post by: fezzy192 on April 24, 2008, 10:24:50

could be a blown diff, try jacking up the axle that's still got the prop attached and see if it's working or not.

As Chris says, the RRC diffs can let go in 2wd, that's why the RRC was made 4x4 (anbd the phase 1 V8)

Also it could be the visocus letting go, when they seize it's because the thermo viscous fluid has crystalised, forming little rocks inside the sealed unit, these could now have broken up.

Sounds like the chain within the BW transfer box is gone.

Not too unusual.

Get an exchange box from Ashcrofts...

Cheers
