New one seems to be fine now.
Thanks again,

Hey Roscoe. Sorry to hear about the failure. Does the above quote mean that you did not change the fluid for 8 years? I know you track you car. I burned up a 9 inch diff (Auburn Pro) and gears several years ago due to puking fluid out the breather. Replaced the gears and diff (True Trac) and fixed the puking breather. I try to change the fluid every other season now. I think that when I blow up this one I will go with an 8.8. I love the 9 but it is so damn heavy. Most of the axle folk say that aftermarket 8.8's (31 spline) are as tough as the 9.
