I understand that those who have had a failure have a distintly different viewpoint than some others of us. I do get it!

Seems to me that if a diff lasts for 3 years or 36K miles maybe it lacks an inherent defect??? Reality time: How many of these failures are due to owner abuse? If none, that's OK... but how many people believe that absolute no diff failures can be attributed to owner abuse. Is it one %, two %, five %???

What's the count as of 24 Feb 06?
I would have a hard time attributing any to driver abuse, a well built rear end should not fail with less than a hundred thousand miles. Most rears go longer than the rest of the vehicle even with abuse. Unless the person is doing very extreme off roading or extremely high horsepower racing. Even towing more than recommended should not hurt a rear end, maybe the trans, but not the rear.
