Yea absolutely, and it's fine. I got this diff second hand (new/unused but still not direct from DSE). I knew when i got it that the 31 spline setup i thought would be a limitation so have always taken it a bit easy on it. I got greedy as said and slammed 2nd gear.
Going back, depending on what broke, will change what i fix/repair.
If it's just the diff, I'll likely replace the eaton tru-trac with the wave trac. GearFX said that was a nicer piece and machined housing. Stronger AND a lifetime warranty according to Moser/Eaton.
That of course will retain the 31 spline axles, so it's days would still be limited.
Sadly the housing that I got, and maybe is standard still, is a 3.062" carrier bearing housing. Cant fit 35spline with that. So if i wanted to upgrade axles, it would be a new center section/third member.
Down the road this definitely will be the path forward, and I'll run a Strange S-trac which has a warranty and is no doubt the toughest torsion style diff. Only availble in 35 spline however for the 9".
