Looks bad there, sparky. Get fixed ASAP.

Seriously, that stinks. Hope you've got an extended warranty.

It still drove home using the front diff..that pic it is the rear diff from a 93 land rover discovery D1.. with 10 spline floating axles .. not that strong obviously.. as it is the 1994 on D2..are 23 spline.. I have replaced the whole diff drive 001.thumb.jpg.e803392d36291247253da8827cbc2c5c.jpg with 24 spine high tough axles .. an eton E locker replacement center.. while i was there.. new shocks n springs as well :)

My ‘88 Blazer blew apart from a 1st gear takeoff on the street... over-engineered 3-speed SM465 transmission in front of a weak GM 10-bolt will do that. I had to take out what was left of the spider gears and drive 65 miles home from Philly in essentially front wheel drive. It loved 70 on the highway...

Mine was $700 and there's about $700 in it... I ditched the 10-bolt for a stronger 12-bolt from a parts Blazer I had. The parts Blazer was bought for $500 and I sold the SM465/NP205 transmission/transfer case setup complete with manual clutch pedal assembly for $550. :D
