8 3/4 goes boom

I was told that the failure of the ring and pinion gears is the result; not the cause. Reportedly the
bolts holding the carrier together are about a third the size of the ones in a Dana 60. They stretch
and then the spider gears start to climb over each other....then BANG!

This from a Chrysler powertrain engineer that broke a lot of them before switching to the Dana.
