differential question
I have the mmgt and it seems that both my differentials are not working. All the sudden, in about a 1/2 tank of gas I was slowly unable to accelerate any more. The main gear box is still spinning the drive shafts in the middle of the truck, but neither of my wheels move. And, if I push the truck with my hands and apply the brakes, they don't work either. Is it normal for both diffs to go out at the same time?

RE: differential question
never heard of that.... when you spin one tire, does the other spin the other way? if so then your diffs are fine. Check your setscrews on your axles....

RE: differential question
Well, now I have two differentials coming in the mail from my ebay winnings. Oh well, I don't need them now, but maybe I will some day. Do they wear out often?
