New Front Differential Issue

Long story short ... 2008 Titan 4x4 w/o modifications that I've owned since new. Front differential bearing (drivers side) went out at just under 77000. Ordered a new front diff from Courtesy Parts in Texas. In shipping by UPS diff was flipped upside down, drained of all fluid and appears cracked. Sent pictures to the dealer and UPS ... dealer says they don't believe it's cracked but an issue with the casting of the housing. I say it was either damaged in shipment or Nissan OEM replacement parts are very poor quality. Anyone else replaced their diff and seen anything like this??

Well maybe the ups driver did kick it out of the back of the truck! I'm not sure man, hard to appreciate the severity from a picture, but casting defects are common. I'd say if you have any doubt or if it's unacceptable to you, send it back...I'm sure it wasn't cheap

I second this, if something you ordered isn't up to par, Then it needs to go back. Hell, that looks worse than the cheapest re-man parts I've ever dealt with. It could be surface imperfection from casting, but it could also be entirely compromised.
