even better, ask to be there when they tear it apart. (Bring your camera)

Just tell them you are curious as to how these things work, you just want to see what the guts look like, etc etc etc

Inside, they're all basically the same.

There's an old joke in there, but I won't go there.

This is as good as I have ever seen. Even better than having the thing apart.

ill go there tomorrow morning and ask if i can have the old diff bc it is cracked

Good luck. I tried to get my axle and they told me that it had to go back to see what and why it broke. Although your dealer had a front diff in stock, Maybe you might get it. Sweet...

Also, Since you have not done the breather mod yet, I would consider changing the fluid in the rear diff, (JUST IN CASE) any H2O found a way in.

well i hope they give me it

Awesome that they will fix it and amazing they had a diff in stock. Just make sure it is the right part.

i know i was so shocked they had one in stock im so happy i thought my car will be in there for a week or two for sure.

You ever get to see the broken diff?

na dude the dealer did not let me see it he said he shipped it back out.

you should have gotten the titan diff and just got the v8 pathfinder axles if you are a 2nd gen. although it seems like most xterra owners seem to just sas everything

Well I haven't done the breathe mod either! If you guys decide to do it let me know.
