I had a 1994 K1500 Suburban with a B&M supercharger. The factory rear end blew the differential case. I replaced it with an Auburn at the recommendation of a local mechanic who built high-performance and race cars. The Auburn was still holding up 75K miles later. The only unusual thing was that it needed a few months to "break in". Apparently when its new it takes a lot of force to get it to open, so going around wet turns it might slip the tire a little at first. Everything wore in nicely after a few months and it worked perfectly after that.

: Have to buy a new differential case due to a spinning carrier bearing.
: Has come down to either Eaton or Auburn Pro. Any Thoughts or comments on which is better and why?
