Front diff went out on my c5d Friday. The bearings for the pinion shaft blew and took out the carrier housing :-\ Having a hard time locating parts,been trying to get things orderd all morning and haven't had any luck. I would like to find a good used carrier assm, or at least the parts to fix mine. I do not have any numbers on my pinion shaft. The numbers on my ring gear are N50022 AG C4 88 5X31 PAI DEMM. I have been told it was a Rockwell by some people and symtrax by others???? Any help with IDing it or leads were parts could be would be greatly appreciated.

To start with count the number of teeth on the pinion the  devide that into the number onf the ring gear, that gives you your gear ratio. Then go look at the carrier for a 1 1/2 ton Ford truck 60-70's vintage, the C-5 if it's the same as the 21 the carrier will be the same, gear ratio won't if you can find a complete used one from some of the outfits mentioned will be a lot cheaper than the ring and pinion. usualy the nose bearing goes and breaks the casting that supports the bearing.

Thanks guys I will give davco a call. My pinion has 5 teeth and ring gear has 31. Yeah that's what happened the internal pinion bearing blew and cracked the housing were the bearing sits. Think I may weld it up and make a bushing, and run a smaller od bearing for the pinion shaft. So maybe I can get by with a pinion and some bearings. Thanks again.

Don't try to weld it yourself, the rebuilders do but it's a involved process, there is a lot of strain on that casting, go to a truck wrecking yard and pick up a Ford carrier to rebuild with or try to find a used one out af a skidder. The rebuilders weld in a solid peice and then line bore it, it's got to be perfect.
