Is there such a thing as a galactic miler AWD that is not a 'Trigger's broom'?

Many of the angle gear failures I have read about have been the result of oil leaking and excessive wear as a result. A change of oil must be beneficial. Far more common is the "stripping" of the drive collars, which work in the AWD setup. Think of them like a "sheer pin" in a straw baler and you'll be there.
Cheepish to buy but abit time consuming to remove and refit.
There is an excellent "geek/scientific" discussion about the collar gear here - allow a good hour

At the mileage you are aiming for the rear section of the AWD setup must be considered suspect. Owners matching tyre tread depth front/back to help the system live longer,must tell volumes about the "strength/weakness" of the system.
Its always hard to walk away from what you perceive to be a flawed bargin, and I have not always been able to do it. But its a question of do as I say not as I do ...LOL
Good luck however you play this..
