My H3 got sick

[gchurchill]

so I got the H3 back. they replaced the whole differential. They said it was one of the "bum" ones that didn't get cleaned out. in other words it was full of grit and was just tearing itself up.
so now since it has been changed, there is no more whinning noise. All fixed. Just a pain waiting for a whole week... but it was awesome to get it back after having to deal with a rental all week!
