    My guess is the pin hole is worn allowing the pin to move and causing it to snap flush. The first time it snapped what was going on and where did you get the replacement pin from? Rear ends that keep having problems are often the result of bent housings. The spyders are the weakest part so yours could be worn. There's something that has to much slack somewhere

    Its a known issue. I dont remember what year they fixed it, but after dropping the pin in my 08, I installed a used diff out of a 2010 and never had anotherissue.
