Alright, here's my problem. I bought this M1009 a little over a year ago and after driving it for about a month my trans went out and I had roller bearings pouring out of my transfer case. Luckily the man I bought it from was nice enough to give me a TC out of another 09 and I found the trans out of a wrecked 09 in a junk yard locally and replaced them both. After that she seemed to run perfectly fine. I took her wheeling in the bottoms and got some lock wire wrapped around my rear drive shaft and pinion so I had to replace my pinoin seal. Thats when I saw that on the back side of the gear housing it was stamped "2WD". After thinking about it I figured when put in 4wheel the axles were fighting eachother and thats what caused the trans and transfer failure. Pretty much what I'm asking is what should I do to fix this issue? I'd like to match the front with the now different rear so I can have a stronger gear for bigger tires. I assume it's around a 373 in the rear instead of the 308. I've never replced a ring and pinion before and would like to put a spool up front since it has manual lockers so I wont have to worry about any issues on the road. Any advice?
P.S. - I just picked up the front and rear axle out of a 79 K5 blazer so if it'd be easier to just rebuild those then replace them then I'd probably do that as well.
