I for one am glad you wrote this up. Came back from bashing this afternoon with what I believe to be a blown rear diff. TIme to upgrade I guess (but that's a tough 250 bucks to swallow).
Has anyone ever blown a front diff? It seems to me that the rear takes most of the load and abuse. And at the cost of this, it would be nice, I think, to just be able to replace the rear.

I do have a aluminum cup already (golden horizons brand?), maybe I'll just try that for now and see how that holds up.
