ARE YOU STILL UNDER ANY SORTA WARRANTY?
SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED TO LOCATE ANOTHER (MAYBE USED) REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY WITH THE SAME GEAR RATIO
EVEN A BACKYARD MECHANIC COULD PROBABLY SWAP IT OUT IN (BEING REALLY GENEROUS) THREE HOURS OR LESS (PROBABLY LESS!)
A DIFFERENTIAL LOCKING UP WILL "MAYBE" EXHIBIT "SORTA" THE SAME ALMOST DISASTROUS RESULTS AS WHEN MY REAR OUTPUT SHAFT ON MY TRANSFER CASE LOCKED UP ON MY '77 JEEP CJ-5
......I'M SPEAKING OF THE REAR WHEELS FAILING TO TURN, ALL OF A SUDDEN AT 55 MPH
