looks like my front diff needs a re-build. I have a friends so I'm still driving my truck. Whats the best place to go to have this done or parts to get... Most times I do it myself but this is out of my realm. once it's done I can install it back in though.
So basically I have a front diff out that needs a re-built. Ring and pinion, bearings and seals.. in the Halton hills area (MIlton/Oakville/Mississauga)

Re: 07 H3 Front diff re-build
I would greatly encourage you to replace the stock housing with a Cast Iron unit.
You can get a complete assembly from a newer H3 that has the adventure package, you will have front locker and cast iron case. Just make sure you get it for the I-5 and not the V8...I-5 will have 4.56 gears which you need and the V8 will have 4.10s which would be useless to you.
If you can get a complete assembly and you are competent with tools, you could easily replace it yourself with the H3 on Jack stands in less than 6 hours, it is really easy and straight forward.
