Just broke down the 8ight 2.0 to refill the diffs and my center diff isn't looking too good. Any idea what could have caused this?

Did a rock get caught under the diff? Something is rubbing.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Wanted to make sure it wasn't a common thing with the 8ight.

For sure a debris in there, check your chassis close to that area that would indicate if it is a debris..

I'll check the pinion. But the diff cup was leaking, so I tossed it.

No sign of a rock/pebble being stuck between diff case and chassis. Blue anodizing doesn't have a single scuff.

That's the center diff Bro. No pinion to rub it.
