I'm pretty sure my SA told me that 06 the diff was fixed and shouldn't have any problems.... was he wrong?

My 06 diff whines and it has ~2000 miles on it, same with the one R&T did a long term test. They said their new diff whined a month later.

You're right, I was just taken for a ride again so it seems... talked with some people at the SoCal event this weekend and they too told me that the 06 diff. is not better then the rest.... they still break and have no fix on it!!! Bunch of bull shit, why even say that, unless they are told to say it and don't know the truth either.....

Yepper, it seems as though it whines in higher gears though...most prevelant in 4th gear.

I think I hit cheese in 6th gear...kinda like cheese-wiz..."cheese-wiz, it sure has pull in even 6th gear"...

I don't know if anyone has ever driven with the rear seats folded down, but it amplifies the whine to the point that you can't hear yourself think.

I had major binding in my rear... part of it is going to be replaced.. i will find out what tomorrow.... I am very concerned about the dealer rebuilding it.

Took the car in for the rear end leaking, and also noted to the service manager that the whine was back (2nd rear end in car). Dealer called friday and said that they replaced the rear end again. The dealer said they don't deal with many V's so he did'nt have many answers. I will say that the dealer was very helpful, and has even offered to come and powerwash the driveway where the rear had leaked.

I thought urby found a lube for that? Sorry, couldn't resist.

What did you find out, Reed? Rebuild by the dealer? No thanks

dealer rebuilt= Yes... they replaced the clutch plates... "overheat damage noted"...

Car is running MUCH better now though, and no issues... So, maybe a dealer did it right for a change (with the obvious exception of lindsay- they ALWAYS do it right)

Mine was rebuilt by the dealer 2x's (with no success). They finally gave me a new 06 diff (which proceeded to whine ~1000 miles later)

James had told me that in order to justify a replacement diff, it needed to be repaired first, once that fails, they have justification for a new diff. Cadillac's orders.

Went in today to report rear end wine in 5th and 6th rear seat was down and it was just a singing Car goes in for service on the 16th of Aug. Will keep u posted.

Hey guys, I am a possible new V owner, just had a question about the diff: Is there a way to get the diff from the GTO to work in the V? I hear of GTO's holding over 550 rwhp and running slicks with no diff failures.

James replaced mine last week.
