Don't assume the worst. The previous owner may not have rotated the tires often enough. So they are worn to different diameters, creating a gearing difference. Try rotating the tires to the other end. Usually the front end wants to be slightly higher geared [a hundreth (.01)or 2 (.02) higher] then the rear, so it pulls instead of getting pushed. Unevenly worn tires can create enough difference to break gears in the diff.
If your ratio's are different, you more-than-likely would have broken the higher ratio gears by running it as much as you have already.
