There is a front and there is a rear. Also called the axle housing, differential housing. The pumpkin is the ring and pinion assembly.
I dont why he pulling your chain like that , I dont know what hes talking about either. I mean hes talking about the gears , the dif in the front . Do h need the whole axle from junkyard , idk.
Thats what i wanted to know so i should just replace the whole axle?
Thank you that clears alot of things up for me, so should I ask the auto sore for all those things you just said or just get a whole new axle?
What is needed? If you purchase the whole assembly, it is going to be very expensive new. Is it 4WD.
yes, i've just learned that it is very expensive for the whole thing i think thats why hes tell me to just get these parts but i dont think hes giving me the correct name because everywhere i call cant find what im looking for, but now your clearing something up for me so this is what he said i needed "front and rear i guess differential and fun pumpkin." oh, and it has both 2WD and 4WD I mainly use 2WD if that answers your question
Probably just need the front and rear pumpkins rebuilt. Need to ask if it needs ring and pinion kits, or just bearing kits. Ask him which is needed.
okay, thank you so when i call an auto store what will I as for front and Rear pumpkin kit or is it called something else?
I don't know which parts are bad in the differentials, so I asked you to ask your mechanic if you need the ring and pinion complete rebuild kits or just the bearing rebuild kits. If you need the ring and pinion kits you will need to know what gear ratio you have. It's not as simple as just getting the kits, you need to know which kits or parts that are bad to get the right ones. You could but the complete ring kits but that's a lot of money to spend if you don't need the rings.
Im guessing the pumpkins because that's what he called me back and told me to ask for and he said the ratio GT4 does that help you to be able to tell me exactly what part it is?
Sounds like the whole kits with rings.
So, I need Ring pinion kits and bearing kits?
If they're kits come separately but the rebuild kits should come with the bearings and ring gears together. But yes you need the complete kits.
So, if I get the bearing kit it should include the ring pinion kit with it?
No
So they are to different kits? But, in this master differential bearing kit the ring pinions comes with it; can you look it up i found it on advance auto website just so you can see what im talking about?
If the master has all of it that wood be fine.
Thank you for all your help!
