How long does it take to build a diff? This is ridiculous. I'm afraid they have you by the gonads and are not going to make it right. Did you pay w/ credit card?

A common built one about 5 hours. A good one, well that takes some time and knowledge.

I hope yours gets put together better than this "Duntov special" it only lasted a few miles and from what I have been told it`s replacement didn`t do much better.

Ok, now I'm afraid, I'm seriusly afraid!!
Guys,
when I replace the diff (I hope that will happend!!), sure I will balance the driveshaft, but in your opinion Is a good idea change also U-joints? Now I have on my U-joints 10.000 miles, but this differential, I have on my vette now, have the frontal joke out of allinment and the driveshaft vibrate a lot at certain speed. My fear is the u-joint suffer this situation. Is possible I have future problem with others parts for you? In your experience what is better I change or check when I will instal my new diff.?

what you see pictured is due to lousy rebuilding of the differential plus some abuse. If your joints are tight then they should be ok, if they're not the solid spicers then you may break one but that won't cause the diff to come apart like that.
If you used a poly snubber bushing some are out of size and can cause the DS to be out of alignment.
You should have had your replacement diff by now.

what you see in the photos is not "only" lousy alignment of the DS angle. It takes a lot of abuse or power to take a differential to its destructive death....
bottom line:
you don't hear stories like this about differentials that were built by individuals who know what they're doing.... there were more than just a few complaints about differentials or other parts like trailing arms/bearings that were "rebuilt" and purchased thru one of the big vendors....

I don`t know about abuse but according to the guy who put it in the car, and took it out of the car it had (maybe) 5-10 miles on it...a couple of laps at Sebring....

The case says new clutches but if you look closely it has slotted clutches which haven't been available for many years.
I hope this works out for you too but unfortunately the odds aren't good.
Howard, what happened it Detroit?
