The differential brings up a common mindset I see, that appears to be unique to enthusiast forums--no matter what the car/truck/bike/boat is, the enthusaists know what breaks, how to break it, and think that everyone also breaks theirs.
A common one is the GM 10-bolt rear and 8.25" front on the half-ton trucks. If you took the small sample size of complainers who have blown up their half-ton differentials, you'd think that everyone with a GM truck had the same thing happen, when in all reality it's a very small--albeit very vocal--part of an otherwise large base of owners who *haven't* had any problems.
