SHELLED OUT MEANS THE PINION GAVE OUT AND SHREDDED THE RING GEAR.THERES ALOT OF METAL SHAVINGS IN THE CARIER, SHOULD I TAKE THE POSI APART TO CLEAN IT OUT?
press the cap lock key when you type, no one likes reading in all caps. i tihnk i might want to get some or all of the chips out before i ran it again. don't think i'd want to disassemble the carrier, you ought to be able to clean everything without doing that.

should definately pull the carrier apart. any little shavings in there will mess it up in a hurry!
BTW, please turn off the caps

while you're down there, nows a good time to throw on a solid pinion spacer, weld the axle tubes, and get a think aluminum differential cover...
