Hello All,
I have been reading on here and on TBSS owners site about members going from AWD to RWD but it seems it takes some $ to make it happen.
My front diff is leaking from the oil pan (inner seal) and I am contemplating on just removing the encoder motor and the front axles and using the 2wd stub axle on the hubs and call it a day.
I live in SoCal and don't really see a benefit from the AWD since I am not the type that goes up to Big Bear in the snow.
I have read many articles but I have not seen that states the reliability long term.
Will it be ok to just do what I mentioned earlier and keep only as RWD.
I love my truck and would like to keep it for a long time but really unsure whether to just drop the $ to fix the leak or just keep it off all together.
Anyone ever have issues after going this route long term?
Forgot to mention that I plan to take it to the shop to do all balljoints and control arm bushings and figured it would be a good time to do it.
