Default 7.5'' grenade

well this morning on my way to work my car gave me a very nice christmas present withthe sound of the rear gernading inside of itself and spitting rollers down the axel tubes and into the bottom of the diff. pulled the cover off and fluid looked like silver pudding and ran out like pudding. there is about a half inch of play between the ring gear and the pinion gear. just one helluva way to start my day

I haven't personally heard the lm1's but I believe people have said those are the ones that sound good on our cars.

Nothing straight through really sounds good, and remember with IRS you need a cobra catback.

Merry Christmas and welcome to the 7.5 destroyer club lol. I thought the lm1's were the ones that sounded like a wet fart on our cars?
