well i'll be damned---------IT'S ALIIIIVE-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
HOW THEW HELL YA BEEN GRUMPY?'
and now--the question.
the weak point in the driveline is usually the u-joints and carrier bearing. the diff is pretty well bulletproof. consider the abuse those things get. guys who ain't got a clue grinding the things from 40 mph to an eventual stop, or near stop before they bang like hell into gear, then go flyin' down the road (50 mph) like nothin' happened. and still, after 50 plus years, they still will.
tighten the pinion to take some of the slop out, and yeah-synthetic lubes 10 times better, but is expensive.
i wish i could find a taller set of gears for mine!
