RE: What differential rebuild kit is best for my 18MT, Please Reply
the links are the same.... and the best way to figure it out is to start wrenching.
Take you truck apart, figure out what broke, and buy it. Most likely your ring and pinion gear are grinded down. This is the info I got from your other thread. The diff rebuild kits that you linked don't have the parts you need. Although I would pick up a few sets of those too.
btw try to keep to ONE thread on this topic. It'll be easier to get help. We all see your question... making multiple threads isn't going to get more people to respond.

ok, I opened up my car and this greeted me on the rear diff, lots of fine soil from my friends bashing site (guess I will not run there), also in the diff housing there was TONS of dirt, I also checked the front diff which greeted me with this, how do I clean this out quckly (as I should be doing my math 
)

wow... the teeth on your gears are amazingly intact...
Don't want to sound like your dad... but you should finish your homework first.
A quick cleaning with soap and water (take it all apart first) should do it. Try to seperate all the metal parts and set those aside. only wash the plastic stuff. The metal can be cleaned with WD40. Then use an air sprayer (used in computer cleaning) to get all the fine particles out.
When assembling your diff again, I use dry powder lubricant on the diffs. This works better than oil, since dry lube does not make dust stick to your gears. You can get dry lube at any hobby shop or major online dealer. Search for "Dry White w/ teflon". Double check to make sure all the gears are in good shape and don't over zealous on tightening the main screw.
