If I was a betting man, I would bet on that not totally being too much power. I could be incorrect from the pics and lighting but is that some discoloration on the pinion gear pieces? The ring gear I'm not seeing the normal wear that would be present after 10 years of getting on it, so I would question the proper adjustment, especially with what appears to be the machining striations missing on some. I could be off tho from the lighting and pics. Probably shouldn't answer the question without seeing it in person.
Awful pics. I do see a major wear pattern issue pic 3- Especially the pinion. The rainbow discoloration from overheated. Pic 3
Only pics i currently have avail. Stock Dana 44 with about 180k

I will take a closer look at the parts, maybe even drive up to Unitrax with all this and see what Jerry says. The owner is the kind of guy we all prefer to deal with.
too much power?
