Yes, Matt.
There's some truth to that. The third repair was done by another shop. /they did tell me that very few mechanics are able to set up the Dana 44s correctly particularly if they use the specs from Chrysler. Chrysler specs them too tight. This particular shop does a lot of these rear ends and they were very critical of them.

I hate to ask stupid questions, but what was that vehicle used for, any
towing, heavy loads? Also, how often was the final drive oil checked and changed on that axle? At 90k miles it should have been changed at least three times. Unfortunately what I see with a trained eye is the result of oil contamination and breakdown.
