Josh,

I'm confused...Are we talking about the front or the rear differential? I'm thinking front, because you stated you went to swap out the front diff. cover. I'm assuming that Randy's gave you a complete diff. up front, and that the carrier/housing would be all assembled and that if there were no bearings, the whole carrier/locker and ring gear would have fallen on your head during the installation <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I'm coming into this cold, so lay out some history for me. I don't want Schaefer to have to dirty up those purple Nikes hoofing it on the trail this weekend, boy needs him a plush ride <img border="0" alt="[Nerd]" title="" src="graemlins/nerd.gif" />
