2000 silverado front end binding
I am still working on this POS. I replaced a bad front differential in this Chevy 1500 because it was banging and grinding. I put a used one in and it was making noise and binding even in snow. They gave me another one and it is no different. The bind is so bad that from a dead stop with any turning of the wheel it feels like something is going to break. If I let of the gas while going slow with the wheel turned the truck will stop as if the brakes are on. If i shift to 2 hi without touching the gas it will immediately start rolling. This isn't the normal bind of a 4wd, it is severe. The salvage yard insists it is the correct gear ratio, but I am wondering, although the odds of them being wrong twice isn't likely. Any ideas ?
