I am far from being an expert on diffs, but if the front diff was that weak, wouldn't they be popping all the time when you put it in 4 LO and climb over rocks and everything else. With that gearing there has to be an awful lot of torque at the diffs even with the I-5. Now, granted if you had the 6.0 and drove it like an idiot and hit full throttle every time, I could definitely see parts breaking. If you drove with a half an ounce of sense though, it seems like it should hold up pretty good. Having said all that, I still would never do the conversion in mine. I'm just waiting for the Alpha!!!
