Think, Ed- back to your high school chemistry class: Most metals dissolve into salts when exposed to extremely acidic PH levels.

So clearly, if the old broken R&P remnants are still solid enough to be damaging your new gear sets, then you CLEARLY haven't added enough Muriatic acid to the diff before breaking in the new gear set.

OH, and BTW- DON'T get duped into buying that ultra expensive acid from Royal Purple- All you are paying for is the brand name...

Just buy the generic acid from the pool department at Home Depot. A guy I know at Royal Purple says it's the exact same stuff...
