Im starting to think that the end caps are getting pushed away from each other, resulting in movement of the gears, which then results in either broken pinions or broken caps.

You can see by design, with the helical teeth, they're just not designed to hold a whole lot of torque / shock.

Yeah. Supra trans ford 8.8 rear lol

no thank you. 10,000 dollars in drivetrain is a little too much money in my eyes. I prefer to keep the stock components and my weight balance.

i agree the money is retarded, but there aint many options, and certainly none cost effective. do a comptech and watch it break. do a puddymod one and spend a lot of money on a great diff, and still have weak sus axles.
you just cant win. no matter what your looking at near 2 grand at least for a nice diff from puddy, and then the trans is your next problem, and that is not gonna get fixed easy at all.
my solution right now is im gonna go with stock used replacements if i break anything for now. i dont rape my car enough to justify 10 grand drive train either

No it doesnt. It only changes the location of the prop endes inside the cups, which are designed to move in and out freely durring susp movment.
I have broken two ap1 diffs. One had Mostly NA miles with some low boost miles. Second, was moderate boost miles, with a used unit. Can’t remember how many miles it had total. Maybe 100k max after it let go. They both had the typical ring/pinion failure. Wised up and got the ap2 now.
I agree, there will always be a weak link, and I much rather replace a rear end or axel in a few hours, then deal with replacing a trans. I go with spending $600 on a low mile used diff when needed. But I’m glad there are guys that won’t do this, keeps more supply for me in the future

I agree with everything you said. Perhaps if someone can truly bulletproof the OEM differential, then companys may come forward with good axles. Puddymod is way to overpriced.

I disagree with the puddymod quote. I have his diff and I feel it is very well built and anything that can be done...is done other then a upgraded lsd
