couple weeks ago the stock brackets were being cut off the rearend. The pinion yoke was pointing down towards the ground and water was leaking out!! Crap! The guy doing the work pulled off the cover it was nasty inside real rusty and the gear oil looked like mud. The ring and pinion had grooves wore into them. The guy doing the work said he has never seen one that looked that bad. After looking it over he found that the stock vent setup had been removed at somepoint so there was just a open hole. Thats how the water got in..
Sooooo I had to spend another $300 bucks at summit..
