I’m new to the forum and was hoping to get some direction on a front diff issue that I’m trying to help a friend out with. I would like options on getting this diff back up and running without spending $1000. I’ve ready threads of some aftermarket vendors, but I haven’t felt like I’ve read a lot of consistent threads that say, definitely go this route or this route depending on budget. I’ll post some pictures and let me know what you guy all think. One thing that surprised me was that the Sprague carrier is made of metal and I fully expected it to be plastic and shreaded in bits like the youtube videos I’ve seen. Any thoughts on why this one is metal and not plastic? My buddy bought it from his friend and was told the diff had never been serviced. His friend bought it brand new. I appreciate any info you all have to offer. I do have the service manual thanks to someone on this board (sorry the name slips my mind at the moment).
