Thanks for the help!!!

I finally had one of these diffs fail - the rear. It was one of the internal spider gears that went bad. I then had an accident with it today after driving it for about a minute and broke the output cup on the same diff I just rebuilt.


I also replaced the center diff cup because I thought that was the problem initially - it got pretty hot a few times and the plastic hd case seemed to be deforming slightly - but I don't think it was really a problem, because the internal gears were OK.

I also had drive shaft screws come loose from the front and rear diff pinions on separate occasions - meaning I had to stop driving and come home to fix them - now they're loctited - so hopefully it won't happen again.

Anyways, I've been working on this much more than driving it recently - keeping me from my other build.
