Differential Carnage
Here is some pictures of my busted differential. The question is, where do you guys recommend to buy a new one? Have read through posts & decided to create my own thread to accommodate my specific needs

Holy fk sauce! Do you have any pics of the gears etc, what was diagnosis? Was this a OEM diff or modified/built? Maybe wasn't torqued down or bolts backed out, this happened to me once, bolt flew out back of diff cover causing extreme leakage etc etc etc.. Pretty stinky stuff and not fun having to recover from it..

you're right it isn't cheap but personally if something broke I would rather put something better in place of it rather than the same part that has a higher chance of failing again... if you go through a few stock diffs that could have been money spent towards a better setup, that's how I justify it in my head anyway
