    BIRF Soup. OK to drive 25 miles?

    When I was near work this morning, I started smelling burning oil. Foul smelling burning oil. I was pretty sure it wasn't coming from the engine. The question is, is this safe to drive home without damaging the DIFF? Not sure how much oil is left in there. I need to go 25 miles.

The only difference I see is that with the ADD system you get needle bearings, and the Non-ADD diff only has the machined in "bushing" with oil...

    OK, under the LC today to change engine oil and filter and having a general look around, my attention is once again drawn to rust caused pitting on the swivel balls. Not leaking as per oil contaminated, just the fact that as you turn the pitting picks up grease and brings it outside the seal...
