Does anyone happen to have a part # for the drive axle bolt and nut? I make the genius decision to run up a 6 mile 6% grade just east of Butte, MT, without enough fuel in the main, and the aux closed off. Starved the engine of fuel since it all ran to the back of the tank. We did get that resolved by priming the secondary fuel filter inlet, after a few tries.
After a very long night on the shoulder of I90, 1.2 miles from Homestake Westbound Park area, StateFarm finally got a heavy wrecker out to pull me up the hill to flat ground. He pulled the drive axle from the differential, and in so doing buggered up one of the bolts and nuts. Now I am leaking fluid and he has yet to source a replacement.
A) I don't think I should drive on this after reading differential fluid nightmares, so we are stuck.
B) I am assuming if I knock out this bolt to take it into an auto shop to match it, I'm going to be dumping a lot of oil in the interim.
So, does anyone have the part number off hand?
Thanks, ~ Marcus.
