My front differential blew up

[obradleyo]

So today on my lunch I decided to take a few of the fellas out wheeling. We were out for about 15 min before trying this hill. Its was a pretty good hill but my no means extreme. An old lifted wheeles jeep was having trouble climbing it. So I am going at the hill and I am almost to the top and a hear a loud pop and lost all traction. After rolling down the hill into a rock. I got out and got to take a look. My front differential blew up. It is broken where the front drive shaft goes in to the front differential. It looks like the insides were ripped out I know this diffy is junk but has anyone had this happen? I recently put the calmini 3+3 combo on it and after putting is on I did notice the front diffy did not hang quit right. Could this be the cause of the problem or is it just a week component? Also any Ideas so when I put the new on in this don’t happen again.

If it wasn't hanging right than chances are it wasn't right, My guess the angle of the drive shaft created vibrations that were too much to handle, it may have been low on oil or the vibration caused the oil to foam & BOOM there u have it a blown diffrental.

I know the oil was good just changed and topped off. Also the oil the fell out wasn't foamy at all. Now when I put the new one do you think I should auger out the holes on the drop brackets? You would think that it would be correct being from calmini. So far I am very disappointed with the kit, the driver side ball joint didn’t fit so I had to auger out the hole on that also.
