Re: 1972 K20 Suburban

Maybe its the new window seals, but the rear Eaton diff seemed to get a lot louder recently. It's making some noise when I'm on the throttle, so I'm thinking its the pinion bearing. Well, first things first. Checked the oil level, and of course it's low. And thoroughly mixed with water... So, off comer the rear cover. This is what I found.

Not in too bad of condition. A bit of pitting near the tips, but not bad at all. And most importantly, no chunks of anything in the bottom of the housing. I'd say it's repairable.

Anybody notice the first class job of hand bending a new brakeline on the drivers side. Something else to add to the to-do list...
