You are correct, I don’t recall there even being a plastic bag for the carrier. And it didn’t even stink in the box.

Manf screwed up . I got a posi last year and didnt even open the 2 boxes it was in and it STUNK .

Hope they help you out on this big goof .

YUP! -------- AND that is a side gear, how about the other side and the splined gears. Betcha they're toast also. How does the pinion look............... Actually this whole thing has been a sh... storm

ECGS did mess up in my opinion. I do not think the power-loc cases are even available new anymore. I've never been able to find them anyways. This would indicate that they or somebody for them built this unit and did not take the proper steps to assemble. (got it nice and clean in the hot tank) When I build one of these I have a pan I throw the clutches and steels into overnight to soak before I assemble, and it does stink up the whole shop. When you open the door in the morning there is no doubt of the smell

Yeah I opened the diff up at home and there was not a smell to be had out of it. All the spider gears are shot, pinion looks ok except for the edge of one of the teeth. Hopefully ECGS will replace my gears if they’ll work with me on this diff.
