We have had one on a colorado for about a year and have beat the heck out of it. No problems yet.

Did you see those Moab pics? Yeah there are some loons on here pushing the limits, right Bebes? Aluminum housing on diff seems to flex and hits the gears and makes a mess. My argument before in the other thread was adding that torque and HP to an already weak front end, especially on a trail like the Rubicon where there are boulders and twisted chassis, and Moab where there are step ups, could prove to be a disaster a lot sooner then later. I would mind having a little boost in the dunes though! I can't wait to read about your set up.

"Has anyone from GM ever been on here and shared their thoughts?"

Fortunately for all of us, yes. We have our resident guru, F5fstop.
