Did you find out what was wrong with the differential?

Inside the differential is a diff case that houses the differential side gears and spider gears. The side gears attaché to each of the axles. The spider gears connect the two side gears. The spider gears keep the drive side and passenger side axles attached together.
If the spider gears are stripped, only the ring gear will spin but it will not transfer the power to the two axles.
Just find another open diff. They are cheap.
