Dropped the repaired radiator in, need to finish and fill tomorrow. Did a lot of porting to my V+ plenum getting it ready for the bigger TB. Hopefully I can get the TB pulled apart and shave the shaft down and countersink the screws for the butterfly.

Possible final drive installation issue? I always question shop work when there is a failure with my own car.

I think it was installer error. Nothing else really adds up.

Well... a while back i picked up a used VLSD w/ 4.08s already all installed in the housing. got it for a steal. threw it in and it whined pretty bad. didn't really want to pay to have the gears reset so just hoped for the best, hoping maybe it would last until i got rid of it (if i ever do).. did its best for about 8k miles and just gave out today i guess.

so whoever installed the gears into the housing the first time, just didnt set the gears to the exact degree they needed to be set at.

Glad your sister is ok.
