The difference was very noticeable when Chrysler went from the C channel to hydroformed in 2003. I had to have the AAM rear axles rebuilt in my 2003 and 2005 with less than 100k miles on them.
Had to have the diffs rebuilt in 3 of or 2006 F350s with less than 50,000 miles. That don't prove anything.
