like most things these days someone who has nothing better to do but complain about something or gets offended and all of a sudden it's gone for ever .
Where did this term "chunk" come from?

I will have to say I am guilty of this.Way back in younger days.
Home was Pa.School was Denver Colorado. Would swap in 2.94 for the 1600 mile drive.
Swap in 3.91 once at my destination.On the ground. 4 times a year during school breaks.
Being 17-18 never thought twice about it. 70 340 4 speed Duster. Did the tall tire thing too.

Yep,did that too, many many years ago. Changed from blown out glass packs and a 4.56 posi, to 3.08s and (genuine corvair) turbo mufflers, on my 57 Chevy (corvette fuel injection on a 360horse 350) and back again. Exhaust and center section in under an hour. The gear change difference was startling. Either direction.
It takes me that long to get the car in the air, nowadays!

Try the pumpkin from a Terex TS14 scraper. We found that if the transmission failed it may have been caused by a broken tooth in the differential. This required pulling the pumkin out under the scraper and usually in a ditch after it had rained. Crawl under with the wrenches required, a scraper and a tube of RTV sealant. You do not want to drop the diff in the mud, so when you get it out you rest it on your thighs while kneeling in the mud and 6" of water. Inspect the gears and if OK scrape the sealing surfaces and apply RTV and lift the pumpkin up into place. Snug up nuts at 10 and 2 locations. Now try to crawl.out and get your legs working again so you can finish up.

This is all fascinating. You guys have some weird names for a Differential. Maybe we should make up another new name for it.
