Diff is toast...need San Diego help
Need recommendation on a good driveline shop.
My diff went out today.
** Symptoms **
Slight hum/roar the last 2 day that slowly started to increase until this morning when it started to buck badly. The sound would go away if I pushed in the clutch.
I had it towed to a gas station. the mechanic there ruled out the xfer case, drive shaft and bearing. He is breaking it open now to check the ring and pinion which he suspect is the problem.
If I can get a good recommendation, I would like to have them button it backup and leave the DS off and drive in FWD.
The truck is close to my work in Kearny Mesa.
I'm expecting a call this afternoon on what they found out.

abalagtas,
My rear diff began roaring a few months ago. Toyota said I needed a complete diff change. Like the post above mine, it turned out that it was only wheel bearings (a big $$$$$ savings). Get an opinion from a trustworthy shop (not the dealership). Better yet, get two different opinions.
