were they stock gears? i guess this happened because of the center chunk flexing?

I broke the rear end in my old 2000 3 times! 2 stockers and a auburn, all times where the spyders. i eventually put in a eaton and worked great. will have to see how long the G80 last in my newer truck.

I broke mine a couple months ago... I sheared teeth off the ring and pinion!

IF the teeth hadn't sheared off i for sure would have just twisted the axle shafts or broke my Eaton LSD...

I swaped in a 14 Bolt FF axle! Won't be breaking that thing...
