Wink Re: SURVEY: Front Differential Problems

Sorry to say yes I am now 2 rear diffs and one front failure.
Had the first decent snow in Central Pa 2 weeks ago , I was in 4hi under 20mph driving around a circle driveway just making a path for my bud to get his Beamer into that night.
After 4-5 loops I became stuck and realized my 4 wheeel drive had become disengauged.
Took it to the stealer $200.00 on a Thursday tech said the axle had slid out of the diff, no damage to either spline or gear, reinstalled with a new seal and gear oil. That Saturday in 2 wheel drive heard the notorious klunk and pulled over ASAP . Towed back to Stealer , quoted $1725.00 to replace the front dif, parts =$1495.00 I was agashed.
The Stealer tried to get some Good Will funds from Nissan they offered $125.00.
I declined and called and filled a complaint with Consumer affairs. Took 3-4 days to get an answer which was I am SOL. zilch, o Zero, Nada because I am at 74k and out of warranty.
I emailed dthe Lemon law attorney in Cali but no response.
My truck has been sitting there for 2 weeks this Saturday.
I have been searching for a builder or aftermarket w/ no luck. Found a salvage yard in Cali to ship one w/ 24k for $800.00 but got the bad news today the housing on it is cracked and it grinds.
Still looking!!!!!!!Any help / greatly appreciated.
My Truck has the PA 2.5 " leveling kit up front, had a 1" block installed in the rear leafs.
Running Goodyear MTRZ 305-70-17 z for 25k+.
Weak links in this drivetrain 4 sure.
What can we do to get Nissan's attention on this one???
I don't even feel safe anymore
