glad you got it fixed
and for cheap...
after a dealership did the AIR pump recall on my LT1... the SES light came on after i took it home
i took it back and said they fucked something up...
they scanned it.. then charged me $78 to bring up the code of the AIR pump failure, and said it has faulty wiring
i say they should've fixed it with the recall
they reply, "the recall only covered the unit, not the wiring"
greatttttt...
i've broke two cars on test drives though... so i'm getting almost even with stealerships
and for cheap...

Good deal man!
BTW I can tell you EXACTLY how this all happened At SOME point you had your car at the dealer and they replaced the front seal. They did NOT dis-assemble the entire Diff. like you have to and replace the crush sleeve with a new one.
So here we are with the front seal out and stuffed the new one in they just hit it with a impact wrench and over tightened the pinion bearings
Your friend at the dealer ship may not have seen this before but I see it ALOT!
It is kick *** they took care of you and i am VERY happy they got it fixed right!
Congrats!
