just so ya kno that guy be me!!
woody i had a discussion quite some time ago on benzworld with bruce r. he told me then of the rear diff issue and that it was known in the 32 world back in 2003, without any way to fix. i disagreed and have been proven wrong. this issue has been around for some time. i truly believe that until the srt-6 guys started racing the fire out of them the issue has been hidden because the 32 crowd tends to autocross more than run the 1/4
