How to tell if you have a rear differential problem?
Symptoms of Rear Differential Issues Typically, there are two symptoms you’ll notice when you have a bad differential, or car differential problems: Rear Differential Noise – if you hear howling from the rear of your truck or SUV when you’re driving, it’s possible it’s rear differential noise.
What does it mean when your rear differential is Howling?
Rear Differential Noise – if you hear howling from the rear of your truck or SUV when you’re driving, it’s possible it’s rear differential noise. It can change in pitch as well as come and go depending on the severity of the issue and load on the diff.
What is the Dana and Ford differential identification number?
Dana & Ford Differential Identification. The Bill of Material (BOM) number is used to identify Dana differentials. Traditional BOM’s are six digits long and begin with the number 60 or 61 followed by 1 or 2 digits, such as 605561-1. Later-model BOM’s may start off with the first three digits of 200 rather than 60 or 61, for example 200561-1.

Where does the power come from in a rear differential?
Gears inside the differential accomplish this purpose, providing a 90-degree direction change along the rear axles. The power is transmitted from the rear differential along axle shafts that connect to the wheels and rotate to propel the vehicle forward.
How much does it cost to replace a rear differential?
Rear differential repairs that include a new gear set may be $1,500 or even higher between parts and the labor to replace them. These are among the more expensive auto parts out there. As you can see, a broken differential can be costly. If rear differential replacement is your only option, you can seek out a completed used assembly.

What’s the gear ratio on a Nissan Xterras?
Except for perhaps the 2WD Offroad with M226 axle (I’m still looking at Nissan’s literature for “official” verification of the 3.13:1 axle ratio for the 2WD Offroad), 2WD Xterras came equipped with the C200 axle and the 2.93:1 gear ratio.
Is the Nissan Xterra a 2wd car?
Nissan did indeed produce a 2006 2WD Xterra in Off Road trim. I’ve never seen one up close and personal, but it is listed as models TCKULRN-EUA (AT) and TCKULRY-EUA (MT) in the factory service manual. [See 2006 FSM @ GI-47.]
Where can I find out my Nissan offroad gear ratio?
Suggestion: Rather than rely upon third party websites for technical information and factory specifications, particularly from relatively unknown sources, it is often better to look at the Factory Service Manuals, Owner’s Manuals, Service and Maintenance Guides and other information published by Nissan. Is yours a 2WD “Offroad?”
Is there a 2WD with a 3.13 gear ratio?
2WD never had 3.13, let alone the “Off road package”. Click to expand… Haha uh… weird. I’ve never heard of that. I question the accuracy. That site may just be creating different permutations of various trims/drivelines to get more page views.
How long does it take to replace a rear differential?
These bearings are part of a rear differential overhaul, taking three to five hours to complete. Replacing the rear differential gears. When teeth on the gears have chipped or worn badly, they must be replaced to eliminate the noise and potential for failure. These ‘hard parts’ are the costliest components, and repairs can only get one step worse.
Where is the pinion seal on a rear differential?
Rear differential pinion seal. At the front of the differential is a yoke that attaches to the driveshaft. The seal around the yoke can develop a leak over time, either from nicks in the rubber or from age.
