It looks like Quaife has a diff for the V6 CTS and also for the SRT-8's..

I though the regular CTS' share the exact rear as us.. or did they just skip over the V's?

Most of the problem with our diff is the casing. Quaifes don't come with new casings.

Ah ok..

Well, hmm

What about trying to reinforce the case, kind of similar to what DTE does for the C5's??

How about a cast iron case?

That would definately be better..

Would probably cost a lot more to manufacture as well

Just trying to think outside the box.. or the case I should say

Been here and done it. The V diff case is too light for the application. The 2 side covers bellow and there is not enough meat around the pinion bearing.
It needs a redesign. I was working on that but the guys that I gave a cradle to and 2 differentials to work with BS'd me and did nothing. What needs to happen is to convince an IRS diff builder to manufacture a new HD unit.

Rodney from RPM Transmissions in Indiana just picked an 06 V that needs work. Someone might want to bug him.
