yep. That picture is just what I have after the fail. No flat washer behind the snap ring. When the rollers escaped the race, they snagged the snap ring, and crunched it into chunks. Then the pinion moved out into the carrier. The whole thing got very loose and made the drive shaft whip inside the torque tube. Took the Bushing and the yoke with that much motion. The rest of the rollers came loose and tried to get between the pinion and ring. The only good news, I was at a dead stop. No busted teeth and no exploded bits. But the truck would not go forward. had to back it up into the street and then shuffle into the drive. Awkward. The funky grooves on the carrier were what happens when the pinion gets that far into the differential.
