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

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
