[color=000066]Let me show you guys the biggest rip off a shop can do to a man.

This is the differential as I started to disassembly it
to install the heli coil. You figure, a shop would clean things up to do everything right.

Look at the batwing bolts full of dirt, GM red RTV and the new black RTV.

You figure to clean the surface to have a correct seal. This is why it was already leaking at garage
temperature 66F. Imagine the nightmare at running speeds.
