I have a friend rebuilding my differentials for me, and he is concerned about the pitting on the spider gears. He recommends replacing them, what do you guys think?

Mine looked like that five years ago
Actually think the crown and pinion where pitted too

The general rule for gears is that if the edges of the teeth are sharp they need to be replaced. If they are ring and pinion gears that are pitted the need to be replaced. If you have money and are able to find them I would swap them out.

10spline side gears?

Fine spline side gears. If you have these I'll call and order front and rear.
Thanks Mark

If this was going to be a trail rig, that's probably what I'd do.

My guess, hobbing marks from when they were made, have seen them look like that. Would and have run them without issue, it's not like they turn with any speed, only what is needed on turns.
