I know this is going to be hard to pin point via the internet...but wondering if anyone had any ideas. I had a new(used) front differential put in. Drove great for about a week. Was fine this morning also. I went to go out to eat about 2 hours ago, and now i'm getting a rough dry feeling...only when I accelerate from a dead stop. Once it's going it feels fine. I just got home, so I have not checked to make sure the mechanic actually put any fluid in...plus I just moved and have no idea where my tools are packed. Just looking for any ideas someone may have to check.
Rough Acceleration after new front diff
- Thread starter tbuckalew14

problem solved...sort of. Turns out after the new front diff it doesn't sit in the exact same spot. On start up, acceleration from a stop, and turns my oil drain bolt was rubbing against part of my steel skid plate. Skid plate removed, and no problems since. I either need to add a few washers to drop the skid plate down a little...or make the hole on the skid plate for the oil drain plug a little larger.

If the oil drain plug is suddenly hitting the skid plate, that would mean the whole engine dropped down.
Or the engine is tilted. Maybe bad motor mounts?
