Yeah, unsure what the deal is. My diffs when build with the pucks dont last as long. I thought I needed to use the "hat" thrust washer from the pucks with the ceramic thrust, so I did that on this last build, but still didnt last all that long (2 months). Might just be a coincidence. I need to pull it apart and see what is up. it does not feel "gritty" per say, it just feels weird. Kinda wavey. I was good at first, but now feels off. I also used TKO sanded rings and ceramic diff balls on this build. Like I said, I am on the fence. I would really like the caged to be best because it makes relubing and working on the diff nicer.
