    Hey 3rd Gen'rs.

    A year and a half or so ago, i got the TSB needle bearing for my 2013. Looking around today, i noticed the new TSB for the 3rd Gen guys has a whole new Diff.

    Makes me think they were using the old diffs, with old design needle bearing, to just clear the stock. Probably since not everyone complains about it.

    Anyway, does anyone know if these newly part #'d diffs have the redesigned needle bearing in them?

    Worth noting, i haven't had any issues with the new bearing in 18 months and 30k+
