I bought this car used with 331 miles on the OD. I recently jacked the rear up to find why my speedo was working. One of the 2 wires on connector going to sender was not connected. Is it possible the way I lifted the rear to cause this? I jacked the right rear side up first putting support under tire then the same for left side. Dang..... what a chocolate mess!!!
No. Jacking will not cause a diff failure. Do not blame yourself.

And who sells a car with 331 miles? Why does someone buy a car and not drive it? I do not understand this. Be it BDR, SPF, ERA, Etc. What is he point of having a toy you do not use? Of course, if you know there is an issue and save the wear and tear for the next owner that is one explanation.

"One of the 2 wires on connector going to sender was not connected." And hat goes a long way in explaining why the miles showed "331"....there is a LOT more on the chassis but the odometer didn't work so TMU.
