Phil, that's a regional term used to describe a vehicle's differential.

Hey guys, derailed for a bit because I am trying to buy a house. Best part is it has a two car detached garage, so once the dust settles, let the fun begin. Muhahaha. I'm itching to get in there. More to come.

Rear axle assembly complete, moving on to the transfer case. All fluid drained and loaded up. That yellow canister is a heated pressure washer. It burns diesel and gets boiling hot. Quite effective.

More priming and prep. Taking pics of hardware as I take it off. These king nuts prove to be a real pain in the butt later on.

Some transfer case prep and a before and after of some of the drive shafts yolks using my soda blaster. Pretty effective. New shifter rails for the transfer case too! Ohh, shiny. Disregard the photos of the brake lathe. I couldn't figure out how to delete them!

Working on the transfer case. All new bearings, races and seals. I re-coated the inside of the case to avoid sweating. Pricy, stinky and time consuming, but seems worth it in the long run. I came this far, why not?

That beautiful FFPW belongs to wayneh. Thanks again for the help with the transfer case!

Interesting trick I learned here in the first photo. We couldn't get the bearing on the shaft easily. The answer? Freeze the gear and shaft assembly (contract) and put the bearing in your toaster oven (expand). Slid right on
Again, props to wayneh. Next photos are prepping the spring bolts and springs.

More transfer case work. Rebuilding this was a lot of fun. Not that hard if you are working with someone who knows what they are doing!

Transfer case again. I was missing a gasket from my set, so I purchased this gasket punch set at an auto parts store in their bargain bin for like $7. Then I got some gasket material, traced is, cut it out and punched the holes. Good as new!

My dad and I taking apart the axles. This was originally his truck. He didn't get to working on it quite as planned, and my mom threatened to get rid of it if I didn't do something with it! That's how I got roped in to this whole mess
