If you're serious about fixing the rear differential problems on the CTS-V we need the following:

Data Base of all replaced differentials
Must include VIN minus the last 4 numbers for security
Your name and address
Mileage it was replaced at
Year of vehicle
Dealership that performed the repair

Four of our members participated in a mock conference call with GM to address this sometime ago. Our hope was that GM would truly listen, they did not. I call it a mock conference call because a real conference call is where participants ask questions that are actually answered. We have seen failures beginning in 2004 and now in 2006 we still have no solution. Owners have changed their driving habits, expectations of their car, decided not to add headers or exhaust or ultimately given up and unloaded their V's at a significant loss.

Getrag admits that the rear differential is not up to the task and told GM engineers this. GM knows there is a problem and our CTS-V owners have tried to coax GM into a proper solution. GM has declined. While many on here do not want to face the facts, GM has affected your resale value by walking away from a known defect in their design. Finger pointing at other forum members about their complaining is the symptom NOT THE PROBLEM. I suggest we all place the blame squarely where it belongs and that is with GM.

The word is out on the CTS-V and it's not good. We only have a small sampling of the total V owners here on our forum and the number and frequency of repairs are appalling. Again if you are serious about solving this problem once and for all it's time to act. Creating a database of repairs can be used collectively or by individuals as evidence that the problem is endemic to the CTS-V.

Again if you're serious and you want a real solution it's time we all do something about this.
