Got the steel CVD kit and installed it today. Looks nice, but what a PITA to install! You have to replace a set of spider gears and get a itty bitty c-clip on the end of the gear/output shaft - which was fun trying to do inside the deeper half of the diff. :mad:1

While I was at it, I put in some 50k diff fluid.

The Jato diff should be pretty sturdy. The flex found in most diff cups (which destroys those spiders) must be all but nonexistent since the ring gear acts to stiffen the walls keeping them from flexing.
