Default Fixed My Diff!!!

Ok, I had the "service rear axle" come up and we tried everything to fix it, even did the bleed, but it would just come back sooner then later...

Went ahead and picked up the diff side cover that has the Clutch packs in it, part # 84644561, installed it, and again did a proper bleed. SO FAR SO GOOD!! car actually feels and handles like it should again! Install was not too bad, just had to drop the rear cradle, while supporting the driveline/tranny and diff.

Here's a few pics, and a short canyon cruise to test the diff!!

Heading to SEMA tomorrow, any picture requests???

Does it come as a set with the clutch packs?

Unrelated question, what is your rear mount camera system? I like it!

yes, the clutch packs are contained within the side cover, it’s all one unit complete basically bolted on and bleed…

it’s basically a GoPro on the back of my car mounted, and then I used editing software to integrate and synchronize the PDR video and the rear video.

Well, I had a pretty good time as usual, although I was a bit bummed that Chevy was not there!! So here's one teaser pic of what I think was the nicest SEMA girl at the show!

Hey Guys,

I don't want to hijack this thread - I'm interested in the differential issues and solutions as there seem to be a lot of problems. With that, there must have been 30 C8's at SEMA, but only 1 C7 I saw that was so heavily modified, I couldn't even tell that it started out as a C7 until I got up close and looked at the side glass. Some eye candy for sure both automotive and booth babes.
