Default RE: How bad are the diff problems on the savage??

Coming up on 11 gallons on my Savage, 2.5 being with the stock engine and the rest with an STS .30. 65% has been with street driving but when Igo offroad, well Itrash my truck. So far Ijust had my first diff failure from a front tire with a lot of water in it causing the whole truck to wobble. Imo I've had excellent luck with shimmed diffs, and of course I've landed on the throttle a lot of the time (not at WOT, thats just asking for it). Idunno, I've had exceptional luck Iguess. Inow have an XL setup in the front so it should be even better.

You only need to be worried about failures for the most part if running a BL setup or a balls to the walls modded engine.

Don't worry, you can still do this and your diffs will survive...
