>>What the hell do you call a person living in Polecat Hollow. A Polecat Hollowian? Just curious.<< Ok here's the story... when I first started out in the salvage biz I'd find cars way back in the boonies in forgotten junk yards. I would sell off parts and give the genereal location, but not wanting to give away the rest of the car sitting in someone elses yard, I'd just say... me and the cars are near Polecat Hollar. Believe it or not there is a road near by called Polecat Hollow Road. >>USUALLY, if there's oil in the diff it will run for a long time, driving the car's occupants insane with the ceaseless howling. << Oil is full. I plan to change the oil. I also read on this site a "option" is to disconnect the mechanics of the rear drive train leaving the car in 2 wheel front drive. And once again the biggest concern is "locking up" and I read you comment about it will still run for some time (this is good) and it's our hope to have a replacement auto sooner than later. Thank you for the comments so very much, Ramble'n Randy

Hi folks... I'm here for the first time tracking down the source of the the howling in my sweeties rear end (no the car silly) as it's a 1991 Subaru Legacy AWD. I"m told she recently had a flat tire on the front of the car and put on the donut tire and drove highway speeds. The "howling" is coming from the rear of the car... where yes... one of her rear tires has a constant air leak (all tires match). So... One main questions is is this safe to drive with till it fails ? The single mom deal has much to do with this... will it lock up and cause a accident or just quietly die ? Will change'n the gear oil help anything ? I have connections with the salvage industry and can get a replacement 4.11 gear rear soon. That wont be able to happen for at least a week or more sadly.
