Jim is right. Durability of the gears is a huge concern. I've had a bit of a problem keeping pinion gear teeth on the pinion gear.
Where did they go?

Oh, there they are.

This was my 2nd differential, WITH a Wavetrac LSD. My original diff died when one of the spider gears blew up.
For diff #3 Unitrax hardened and finished a new gear set for me. Wavetrac was awesome and rebuilt/upgraded the LSD for a reasonable price even though it was not the LSD that failed.
