I've killed 3, and It's either the spider gears, or the ring and pinion.

That's why I was curious what he's killing. I just finally killed my 168k stocker and I stuck 4.10's in there two years ago behind a t56. Never ran a DR but I think the differential is what went out, it hard to turn now. I had the gears mikronited, I'm hoping those look unscathed. Ought to say something about the process I suppose.

Wow, mine is over 120k and all though I thought I blew it, the damn thing seems to be fine. Pulled it apart and it looks great, with no shavings. With 410rwhp, and me not exactly being easy on it, I am not sure how you are blowing so many. Must be poor quality of the work done to the other ones.

A little late on the help request. I need more time to plan ahead. Maybe next time.

Yeah, I remember that. There was one clamp that was resting against the DS when the suspension was unloaded. I slapped my buddy Jeff in the back of the head, because the only thing I told him to do during my header install was to make sure he put the exhaust clamps back on correctly. Next time I'll check his work first. lol Well anyways, I've got the new rear in now and we'll see how it goes. The funny thing is that the car has never been to the track either.

I wasnt trying to be a jerk or anything. Trust me I went through the same thing as you(blew 3 rears too). But each time it cost me about 800 to fix.
Three times makes 2400. I finally did all I could to get a moser. The 10 bolt just is a really weak link. I know its not cheap to dobut, the peace of mind you get is a very good feeling. Again, just FWIW.

I blew one rear and I took everyone's advice, exactly what you just said up there, and went and got the Moser 9" straight up, instead of investing into another 10-Bolt.
