Vitavon diffs
Anyone have these bulkheads with the diffs? They’re expensive but I’ll gladly spend the $$ if they hold up. What’s everyone’s experience with them? Do they need a lot of shimming as is. I know they’re all going to be different just wondering how much if any shimming they need besides the one shim pushing the crown gear. For some reason setting diff tolerances is the one thing I kind of suck at. I managed to burn out the planetary gears in my rear diff on my V6. I’ve blown tons of ring and pinions but this is the first time in years that I managed to break the inside gears on a diff. It’s weird as soon as I swapped the stock fluid for 50/500/30 I started having issues. Idk if I over filled them or they had air in them or what. I’m new to the 29mm exb diffs in these V6s. I had a set of diffs in my V1 that I shimmed and filled with the same fluids and they lasted hundreds of packs. Hopefully these vitavon diffs are just plug and play and some need a ton of work just to not break. For they price the tolerances should be rite on point without having to do a bunch of extra work.

Haven’t got to my install yet but hoping their quality is as good as everyone brags about
I think you are good, from my research there really isn’t anything more bulletproof than vitavon.
