also, i am not sure given the upcoming winter weather that now is the best time to break in a new diff. i did a damn good job in june of beating the car up the first 1,200 miles and subjecting it to various twists and turns at varying speeds. not sure i could do the same now.

any comments or advice would be appreciated.
