another G80 victim... HELP ME OUT!!
Today I stopped my my local Napa to talk to a buddy and we noticed fluid coming out of the rear end 
I changed the fluid and gasket a few months back so I was bieng OPTIMISTIC since the truck felt fine and drove it right home to check. got ome and noticed a small dent from the inside and knew right away not good! turns out I broke the tabs that hold the center pin in for the top and bottom spyder gears.. the pin is still in place just moves alot when tires are turned. I figure myself lucky because it wasn't a catastrophe... even made it home fine sans a quart or so of fluid.... Ordering the trutrac and 4.11 gears from rons in the morning.....I hope I can get quicker shipping as the truck is my DD and on jackstands.

install kit and all came to $600 or $625 shipped depending on us gear or yukon gear... same difference yukons just a little quieter...
I think this is the problem..... I bet the center pin retaining bolt is supposed to be longer than this isnt't it guys....???
