4WDlifeform - I am going to have my gears done in the next couple of weeks as well. When the case is opened, I'll see if there is any grind marks like in yours. I am pretty sure my diff has ever been opened so if it looks like yours it's probably some cleanup done at the factory.

acammer - I am sure my tuner will go over break in procedures as well. And you may have posted something earlier that I missed, but can you enlighten me as to the preferred method for breaking in a new set of gears? I've always heard about driving gingerly for the first 500 miles but I don't know the specifics on heat cycles and stuff. Can you clarify for me what I should be doing and what not to do?
