Default How Much to Fix Leaking Differential?

I know that's not an easy question to answer but maybe you have a dollar range? I'm curious.

FYI, if you are able to lay on the ground and get up safely. It’s easy to take pictures of the diff, you don’t need a lift.

I do have pictures, but its not the right format to attach to a message. The latest is the housing on the differential housing is cracked? You can't buy a new unit and the dealer found it on Ebay...... $1,200 dollars later.

Good or bad but will be fixed!!!

A complete stage 2 differential from RPM with gears of your choice is 2300. Do your research before throwing 1200 for a cracked housing.

I’ve got the 3.73 stage 2. 🤪
