2003_SuperSport Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 No worries, I believe they are good for 800-1000hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXGM Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) Front diffs IMHO are a weak link. They seem to always be noisy and have a propensity to spin bearings. Other common problems with this gen truck in no particular order.... Front wheel bearings, T case pinhole, oil cooler lines, HVAC door motors, power window motors and tail gate bezel handles breaking. I'm sure I forgot one or two but that's a start....

8hnpSS Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 the biggest weak link in the drive train is the trans by far. if your relatively stock it should be fine for the most part. front ends go out here and there but its no were near as common as a blown trans.

EXGM Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) It's the oil pump inside the tcase. They are nortious for wearing a pin hole in the case. Only way to fix if you have the hole is replace the case half. I think there is an aftermarket plate made that you can put inside to reinforce so it won't wear through again.
