I appreciate all the help. This think is all the way at the other end of the country so looking at it is out of the question. I've fired off a bunch of questions based on the info you guys have provided. If it pans out I can have this thing on my doorstep for about $350 including shipping. The only puzzling thing is the "non-posi" statement. You'd think that even if the rear had blown it would have been replaced with the same unit - the gears are 4.11's so they're likely stock!
