hi guys. i have seen the pipe cap mod on here to do over the diff pumpkins to stop them getting damaged.

before yesterday i had a dint in it and now seem to have another one. is it still ok to do the mod over the already dinted pumpkin?

the mod is to stop it from fully breaking letting the oil out and also to stop it bending in so far that it stops the diff centre going around i assume? so still ok to do it?

how much do the diffs go for generally for a sierra wide track anyway?

if i pipe cap my damaged one it wont get any more damaged hey?

how much clearance is there inside the diff before it will jam the gears or something bad?
