umm
My G80 3.73 let loose on the drag strip line - spiders got loose in the carrier and went bang - I've got a nice video of it if you want to see -

After this, I replaced the 3.73's with 4.10 front and rear...and after another 10k, the rear end let loose again - worse this time, the small 8mm bolt through the spider retainer sheared in 3 pieces cuz the spiders got sloppy in the carrier. Took out the entire rear end, including the new ring and pinion. just got done replacing it a couple days ago - GM has a new design spider which is supposto fix this problem.
