So here I am returning to the "Table of Knowledge" hat in hand. Does anyone know what model, type, nickname for the type of front differential that's in a 2000 AWD Chevy Astro van? I swear this looks very close to the one that was in my '89 S10 Blazer. Mine is leaking and I'd like to go through it but even searching the internet nothing jumps out. Rock Auto Advanced Auto etc. all sell bearing kits for the rear differential but it seems no one lists anything for the front. Rock sells a rebuilt replacement for around $600.00 + shipping. I figure it can't have $200.00 worth of bearings and seals. The best I can get from some of the Astro van forums is "Check the oil" and "That's a job best left to the pro's". Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Glenn.
