Don't walk or run but strap a personal jet pack on your back and fly as far away from Duntov as you can. Crap customer service. Overpriced parts. Incompetent staff. I have personally experienced all of the aforementioned occurrences. The ones chiming in on this thread will all have their very own horror stories. Enjoy.

Fred,

I told you what happened to me. On the other hand, my friend bought a rebuilt 3.08 from them about 2 years ago. It is on a 468 that is putting out 501 ft-lbs at the rear wheels and it has been fine so far. So, not every diff they put out is bad.

I can't think of any positive posts I've ever seen about them (Duntov) but I can think of many negative ones. Here's one that preceded this one by a couple of days- http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-t...g-problem.html

My friend bought his diff from Duntov about a month before I did. After a short time, I sent my "rebuilt" rear to Gary Ramadei for an overhaul, which he started on February /March of 2011. So that's the time frame.

Nope,
I was long gone by then.
