Trutrac trouble Pulled cover off my strange 12 bolt to change fluid tuesday, big suprise my truetrac is cracked.
Called eaton tech and sent photos, their response break off cracked part with a vise grip and run the diff
This is the same tech line that before I bought the diff told me I wouldnt have a problem and if I did they would look after me.
I'll post a link to photos. It will be a long time before I buy anything Eaton.

Tech told me its meant to align case and cover, still if it's cracking and they get into ring and pinion.
At this point I don't trust anything they say, even wondering if engagement on splines is right.

Thats the only pic I could find, and it doesn't help show how structural that part of the housing is.
I notice you're making some pretty stout power. Tough to have them warranty something like that. Although I agree it's bullshit that it failed. That's some crazy tech support...
Did you try calling back on another day and talking to someone else? The guy you talked to is obviously a dipshit.

This 12 bolt diff is the only aftermarket item on my car that has all these issues.
I have a stock t56 trans np, spec mcloud clutchs np, linknfelter alum driveshaft np.

I called truetrac for the part number on a diff for strange 12 bolt. I bought the diff from Moser and I called them first but was told decision was eaton's.
