2006 4.0l V6 rear differential

Post by Mylux »

Hi Guy's,
My diff rear differential packed up today. Pulled away from a traffic light and heard a bunch of expensive crunching noises from the rear diff.
I removed the propshaft and limped home in 4x4 front wheel drive.
I haven't had a chance to open the diff but by the sounds of it the crown wheel and pinion are gone.
Any suggestions on what I should do to either repair or replace with a used diff. Finances are tight 😔

Thanks Nic!
The code my broken diff is A075.
I can get a A065 diff. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between these codes.
