Driving down the street Saturday to save my Kid who ran out of gas and when I backed off the gas pedel to stop the rear end made a loud scream, I lightly got back on the gas and it went away.. but I had to stop for the light so I took my foot off the gas then it went boom ! Screach and ground to an immediate halt...luckily not towing the trailer and the person behind me was able to stop.. Had to get it towed home...just a few blocks, looks like the pinion nut came loose and then came off. I had to change the Power loc unit about 40K miles ago, when it blew up..and left parts everwhere, so I guess it was only me to blame... Looks like everything is trashed, I think even the housing is junk.

I'd tighten it back up and keep going. OK, seriously, glad no one was hurt, that could have been ugly.

I had a long chat with the owner of a driveline shop when I went into buy a new yoke for my Dana 60. He showed me a new style pinion nut that fit the 9.25 and Dana 60 and was the latest and greatest. It was less than $20.00 so I bought it and added it to my build. This was at least 2 years ago. 9.25s have a history of pinion nut problems...almost 30 years ago I saw first hand how the loss of a pinion nut caused a truck to flip. You were very lucky
Do you have the P/N?

When my pinion nut came loose I could hear a high pitched whine on deceleration and knew something was up, tightened it up and no issues a year later. I would expect it to give some warning if a person pays any attention to such things.

The crush sleeve eliminator looks like an easy upgrade. I do tow the trailer a lot. I got the old rear end out and taken apart, it looks like the housing is damaged pretty bad, I think It will need another housing. There is a lot of damage around the bearing areas and a ding that is almost broken thru the bottom of the housing.

The "off road" package came with 4.10 gears.
