Ring gear pitting
Hey guys,
I'm about to buy a differential remotely (shipped from 600 miles away).
The seller is telling me that the donor car only has 25 000 miles.
The pictures are telling me otherwise. There is some kind of pitting, or darker area, in the center of the drive side gears.
Should I be concerned and investigate further before spending hundreds of dollars? Or if this is about right and it will drive just fine for many years to come?
Thanks for your precious input.
