The rear end keeps freezing up and i wandered if it means their is water in it.

 

Don't know, but why don't you get some synthetic rear end fluid, flush it out and refill it and see if it helps.

 

Why waist money if it don't need it. The motor is the only thing that needs money in to everyone know's that.

 

Drain it, and see what comes out...water, metal shavings, etc. Takes like a couple ounces of oil and wil cost like $2. Or live with it if you don't want to "waste money"....

 

I don't understand your post, you seemed to have a problem with your rear end and asked for help in finding out what the problem might be and a solution to it and your response seems to be that you think flushing it out would be a waste of money. Well, if thats the case why did you come on here and ask for help, you must already know what the problem is???
Like Reconranger said, if $2.00 is too much of an investment, leave it like it is.

 

I presume the rear is still "frozen" when the engine is in neutral....like when in neutral you still can't push it because the back end is seised up?? Might be a rear brake problem, instead of a hub problem??

 

How whould it be a hub problem when i can drive it latter.

 

Seems he wants to argue,instead of finding his problem,maybe a dealer can help him better.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

 

I had a rancher do the samething.It ended up being a brake grabbing..?

 

Yes it could be water in the rear end or water getting in through a vent line , or by the rear brake drum ; or even in by way of a wheel bearing seal anything stated above could cause a freezing or seaizing locking up the rear end !

If it's a brake problem water / dirt and rust and freezing water could lock up the rear brake ; and have to same effect's as the rear end seazing !

If it's the rear gear's in the axle or rear differencial , if water has gotten in it will have to be drained and flushed out with either kerosine or Acetone to flush and dry out the rearend before filling SAE 80w 90 hypoid gear oil ; and then pray it hasn't gone to long for permanate damage ! ............
