Is this thing a part time 4wd truck? You might be able to just disconnect it for now and only replace it if you need to use the 4wd. ---

Ah, so it probably doen’t have the disconnect hubs. What leads you to think the front diff is bad? ---

You might check the junk/salvage yards for a replacement differential, that might be the cheapest way to go, it’d be hard to get anything for this as is. ---

The problem isn’t unusual for this vehicle based on what I’ve seen, but whether to fix or not…This isn’t a Toyota, so the motor is going to be getting tired along with other things. If everything else is solid and I mean really in good shape and the motor doesn’t use any oil or blow any blue smoke-then yes, I would fix it. ---

Mopar smallblock V8s that were put in these are as reliable as anything from Toyota–more so than many Toy engines that were prone to oil sludging. The trannys they put in these weren’t too bad either. The suspension and steering parts are worth looking at though. A weak point on many Chrysler vehicles in these years. ---

These vehicles are as common as dirt. Have you tried online salvage parts networks, like [www.junkyarddog.com](http://www.junkyarddog.com) or [www.car-parts.com](http://www.car-parts.com)?
