Also, be sure to breath in a sign of relief that you DONT have the D35 :thumbup1:

The 8.25 is a *much* stronger axle, especially the newer 97+ ones cause they've got 29 spline axle shafts. D35s are very unpopular.

I have never had a problem with my 35...yet. But when I do I'll upgrade.
Did you by any chance buy an aftermarket cover? If so I'd be interested in taking it off your hands..PM me if so

I thought thats what the answer would be glad i have a 2000 with a 8.25! Gettin ready to put a 2" lift with some 31's so i can hit some muddy trails this spring!
