Yeah I hear ya man, I really do. But a big part of me wants to try it again.

ive done the autozone thing before and i hate it, it always comes out in pieces, one time it took out everything but the outer case..we spent hours grinding it out so i decided im getting the real one which is like 85

I checked MT before I posted those prices, not sure if you have a MC account.

I refuse to buy anything internal from autobone anymore. Hell, the last T/O bearing that I bought was strait from Mazda and it came out in pieces. Almost got me stuck in jersey too

That's a REALLY tough call. Yeah it's low mileage, yeah it should be fine, but still, you don't know until you crack it open. In 5k it could start to whine like a little bitch and then you're back to square 2.... 2 being now you have two diffs and you can rebuild one and then just swap it out.

I dunno, tough call. I bought an used S4 TII diff for $150 just so I could have a back-up for my FC in case I REALLY don't dig the 4.3 gears I'm not totally shit out of luck, and also so I have one kicking around if I ever decide to turbo the 'vert. Which I would still like to do.

Pedal your ass around town... literally and figurativaly. Side jobs are fantabulous. Luckily I have 4 days off in a row so I had no problem working both my days off. THe amount of cash I can make on one day off will net me in cash what my weekly net is. So by taking on a full day of side jobs, I effectively double my salary. Nearly tripled it this week. Work Week starts on Sat, ends on Friday, so I had Thurs & friday off from last week, and Sat sun off from this week. Shitty thing is now I'll be on for 10 days strait until the end of the next cycle.

BTW - how do I get in touch with Abdul about those seats? Gonna spend some time working the FC today, figure out what the fuck is wrong with the fuel system (again ) Then it's deep into the 'vert tomorrow. Picking up my buddies new truck from Dave on Thurs so I'll be able to swing by soon and grab all that stuff and then off to LI for that Atihun hood I scored.
