I have never heard of someone breaking a puddy mod. i just got a stage 4 Puddy mod and it is a work of art! Ben is an expert and knows his shit with diff building, buy with confidence!

Nothing is indestructible and I have seen one or two failures, but given the amount of people running them and what they use them for, its par for the course. Puddy has the best record for keeping them together vs any other builder, and hes built a following an reputation for providing a quality service to us all.

I look at it this way, if you want to keep a stock diff in the car and make some decent numbers, eventually you'll need a Puddy.

Op, understand that everything as a limit. PuddyMod does have stages for beefier diffs. When asking about failures, ask about the set-ups they failed on as well. I personally have a PuddyMod stage 2, and see Ben locally. If you correctly pick the diff for your set-up you shouldn't have any issues. If you ever do, Ben has awesome customer service and will handle the situation.

If he can't, he can point you to a solution that will. Like a Ford 9" pumpkin, etc.
