I get it, Muzikman, I do. Honestly, what percentage of M226 rear ends have had an issue? You have a high concentration of owners that like to off-road their vehicles on this site. Off-roading tends to break things, or make them wear out faster. Now, while I agree that Nissan needs to do something, a recall might be a bit extreme. I have a feeling that the reason Lloyd didn't get what he wanted from Nissan had a lot to do with his attitude at every step of the process.
I have faith that Xterra Racer's new gear coming down the pike will solve the issues you're having, but things like this take some time to get resolved.
