alright so i ordered thunder racings rebuild package thinking just my ring and pinion broke took it apart and the bearing journal on the ring gear side fell out so i had to buy an auburn diff i took it all got it installed and after about 100 miles it started howling like a **** and it had a wooshing sound that was loud outside the car took it back to them and they said that the left carrier bearing race were the rollers roll was not heat treated properly which i think is BS so they charged me another 200 for all new bearings and labor not to bad i guess well after talking to several people they told me the carrier preload was to tight which is what scored the bearing and today after i hit the 150 mile mark im starting to hear it again and im getting pissed what should i do with all the money i spent i could have bought a f***ing 12 bolt

I hate to break it to you but I think you are being pushed around. Too much preload on the bearings WILL damage a new set of bearings very quickly. He should have never charged you for a new set of bearings, he should have made it right. In my 15 years of building rears, I have never seen a faulty race out of the box. They mess up because the setup was wrong. Sounds like to me he is trying to steer clear of paying for his mechanical mess up.

If I were you, don't deal with it anymore. Cut your losses and go with a different setup. A 12 bolt or S60 at the very minimum.

Now I have no doubt in my mind you are dealing with a shady mechanic. So now he changes his mind and blames it on something else? He's just trying to get out of paying for his own wrong doings. I'm pretty certain, by what you have said, that this guy is 100% responsible for your lost money. I hate dealing with people like this, in any profession.

1. He has already moved beyond his original diagnosis and now blames something else.

2. He's not even trying to make it right with you. Has he even offered to meet you in the middle and split additional costs? More than likely not.

Sorry you got shafted, I hate to hear of people doing business this way.
