You can have it for NZ$30k :-)

My guess is either rear axle(flange or axle) or centre diff (gears or rear output shaft). The way to tell which one it is, is to jack up the front wheels off the ground, chock the rear wheels, lock the cdl and then see if the rear tailshaft is turning in any gear (motor running of course). No turn means centre diff, turn means rear diff. Either way it's not going to be cheap to fix. Good luck.

Ok so I jacked the truck up hand brake off, in gear CDL engaged and spun each wheel. Both front hit resistance and both rear spun.

Check the drive shafts and both of them spin with CDL engaged.

So, rear axle then? Or rear diff?

Most likely an axle or drive flange. The diff gears on a salisbury are unlikely to give any trouble. Knock the rubber caps off both flanges and and have a look if an axle is turning inside one of them. If not, remove the drive flanges with axles attached one at a time (long one first) and see what you find.

Cool man, I'll give those ago after work tomorrow. I was talking to a mechanic mate and told him what I did above and he also reckons axles or drive flanges.

If it's an axle, should I upgrade them to Hi-tough ales? As I am planning on lockers at some stage.

Thanks!

If you upgrade to hi-tough, I'd spend the extra $ and upgrade flanges, etc as well......

Yeah I was thinking of getting the kit. Just gotta find somewhere that ships to NZ.

Was hoping for 30k Yen. Oh well.
Best of luck for the flanges. They're the cheapest and easiest possibility.
