o/t: toyota rear end
 

So I was driving to work on sunday morning when my rear end went out on me. Had it towed to the shop one of the previous owners works at. He said that I blew out my rear end. Anyone know were I can get a new rear diff.?

For what kind of toyota? Tacoma or mini truck? or what?

Also what year???

What exactly do people mean when they say they blew out there rearend? Later Mike

generally means its destroyed.

either that or they had some 4-alarm chili the day before.

Faster than you.......... I dont think that a Chevy/GMC board is the correct place to be asking where to find these parts. I can think of 3 sites that I can PM ya that welcome those type of trucks. :)

LOL I see what your sayin 1969 GMC, What I was wondering was what part of the rearend usually goes bad? Thanks Mike

I am curious how common this sort of problem is. Is it typically gear teeth on the ring and pinion? can you expect a certain mileage or time life before failure? I've had this problem in the past and wonder if I should take any steps to prevent it in the future?

Thanks for any info
