I've got a 2002 E350 7.3l Diesel with quigley 4x4, about 170K miles. I am near Moab, Ut. My rear diff is creating a little binding during sharp turns, especially after the vehicle warms up. I've had it checked by a good mechanic who suspects wear in the rear diff. Unfortunately he is not equipped to do the work. Can anyone suggest a place to get this worked on, the closer to Moab the better.

First - What is the axle code on the driver door jamb sticker assuming the rear axle has not been changed?
Do you have a rear locker?
If it is a limited slip (Axle Code beginning with a C ) then first get a bottle of Friction Modifier and put that in the rear diff case. That may be all that is going on.
Mine did that. Turned out to be classic clutch pack wear - very common. If you are on the road, it's normally just an annoyance and not a critical show stopper. I waited until I got home to fix it. BTW was able to do it myself. Total cost about $150 for everything.
Another option in Durango is Vandegrft Deisel. They corrected a bad front end alignment service by my local shop when I was on a road trip. I was very pleased with their work.
