lol yea. The sad part is i had one rebuilt with axles, eaton posi, slp 3.73's. And the posi grenaded, wiped out my gears and eaton wouldnt warranty there $600 unit. End of winter I'm getting a 9". Tired of swapping rears in front of my house. I have it down to dropping the blown one and installing the new one driving in around 4-5 hrs with no lift. Jackstands and a jack FTW lol
