Status: offline 		I have another problem with my nemesis that i cant seem to figure out. It is only Front wheel drive now. I have take apart the tranny and all looks good. Then i took out the rear diff and i was going to open it but the damn thing snapped my screwdrive tip off. So i said F it. But the diff rolled smooth and felt fine. When i flip the truck over and press the gas i can see the front and rear shafts turning but the power dose not seems to transfer to the wheel. So do you all think the rear diff is the problem and i prolly need all the internals or something?

Status: offline 		Yes thats it, and if the factory did not get the screw lined up with the flat spot on the input shaft it will seem tight(with locktite holding it). Take it apart and see if the screw has been rubbing on the input shaft. But when you put it back together again be sure the set screw is lined up with the flat spot on the input shaft...

And to test before you take it apart hold both front tires with your feet(truck upsid down so you can see the drive shaft) Now grab both rear tires and rotate them together. You should be able to rotate the rear tires(with a little force) while the front tires are still. If you can look at the drive shaft to see if it is rotating too. If it is then the center diff is the problem(which I highly doubt) but if the drive shaft is NOT rotating then the rear diff slpping somehow, whether its the grub/set screw loose or the internals of the diff are knackered(as the English might say)

Hope this helps

X2 on what puppy says. I just broke in a guys X-Factor 2. Checked everything for tight. 1st tank, it spit a driveline. Factory tightened the grub on the round. Set was still tight as hell where they locked it. Chances are, you will luck out.

Status: offline 		I probably shouldnt tell anyone this but I had the same thing happen to me when my NEMESIS was new.I disassembled my entire truck and put it back together,never found a thing wrong.Problem was,all the torque from this beast had made light work of my tire glue Yea,I know,what an idiot.At least it gave me a chance to become familiar with my truck Dont know why,but the fronts stay glued pretty good,but I have to check the rear quite often.The tires would feel snug to the touch,but under hard torque they would slip.

No,I went in there to lock it only to discover that the little block needed to lock the diff didnt come with the nemesis.CEN informed that the locking kit comes with the GST,but not the nemesis and I just never got around to messing with it again and am not sure that I will.My truck gladly does everything I ask of it like it is.I havent had a situation yet that convinces me that it is necessary to lock that diff and I also like the less stress factor of the unlocked diff,but everyone sets up the way that fits them best.
