I know this isn't on subject but I need help for a temporary fix to get me back and forth to work until I can get the front diff replaced or upgraded to a 44 is there a way to drive it without the gears turning or something to stop the vibration grinding until then
Remove the axle shafts, drain the gear oil in the front axle and then plug the axle tubes with paper towels or rags.
You need to remove the axle u-joints and reinstall the axle stub shafts to the unit bearings and torque them to 175 ft lbs. Otherwise you will lose a wheel - the stub keeps the bearing halves together.
