Hmm, me the expert on this? Nope.

Understand that I don't own one yet, and only have info that I have read here for the past year. If you do a search on "lapping compound" you'll get about 10 threads. There is some good/useful info there. I think the issue affected both base and adventure rear differentials (if there is a difference between the two, dunno), and I believe if can affect 4sp (auto) and 5sp (man) transmissions. A couple of the replys in those threads are from the GM connected folks on this forum. So, very helpful and, what I feel, very reliable, honest, no B.S.
Some threads talked about a rear diff whine/noise that could start after 500-600 miles, but if I remember, i think most, who had the issue, started...I can't remember, after 1000 or 1500 miles. Or it could be more. Sorry I don't remember. Hope that helps.
