should i buy this 10 bolt? this is the listing. i have a 99 camaro ss.
Up for sale is a 10 bolt rear end out of my 96 Camaro SS. It has an upgraded auburn locker with 4.10 gears, and a ratech install kit. Over $1000 new parts. The auburn locker and gears have less than 1000 miles on them including 500 easily driven break in miles. The drivers side axle is broken but i have and axle to replace it with. The only reason I'm selling is because i put a Moser 9" in my car. The rear end has a TA performance rear cover which has been sold, so it will include a stock style cover. The price is $600 obo.
so the questions are.\
1. since i dont have traction control, my car should be a 3 channel?(the one for sale is 3 channel)
2. are the rear ends the same length? bolt right in?
please, any info would greatly help out

Used ten bolts usually go for between free and $200. Rebuilt ones usually go for $200-$300. Rebuilt ones with better gears and/or posi bring about $500. None of these include any shipping either. Thats what I have seen in the past.

Why did you buy it when its not even good enough to bolt on ready to go? It was cheap but its not even working right cause you still have to change things to make it work. The 10 bolts are only good for 400 rwhp before it breaks.
Return it, get your money back and save for a Strange 12 bolt, Ford 9 inch, or Fab 9 inch rearend. Dont get moser whether it be a 12bolt or 9 inch. Theres too many people on here that have had issues with moser rearends.
From now on research before buying. Hope this helps bro.

After reading many of the posts on this forum it became very clear it wasn't worth spending any more money on another 10-bolt and my factory one was beyond repair (the housing and axles were damaged).
The 12 bolts or 9" complete rear ends cost more in the short term, however I simply didn't want to spend a lot of money and time on another 10 bolt only to have to revisit this all over again a couple months or a year or two down the road.
Since I plan to keep the car mostly stock and driving it on the street I went with a 12-bolt Moser with 3:73 gears for a replacement. It arrived the last week of August and had the Motive gears in it. (Although if I could do it all over again I would be probably have done the 9" Moser due to the problems people are mentioning with the torque arm on the M6 cars.)
I am still breaking my new 12 bolt in and am at around 300 miles so far and it's still whisper quiet. I'll report back again once I pass the break in period as some people have been reporting noise after it's fully broken in.
Regards,
Kevin

For what it's worth I was quoted $1500 for a used 10-bolt out of a 99 Firebird with 40k miles from a local wrecker when I was looking for a replacement last month.
Looking on car-part.com there were a number of them in the $800-900 range but they would have required shipping.
These high prices for the used 10-bolts made the decision to go with a new complete rear end assembly and fix it once and for all, that much easier of a decision.

Wow. You fail at taking advice. You just bought a brokeass pile of **** for $450. If I would have known you were so gullible I would have offered you my destroyed one for like 300. Get rid of that pile of junk, they are worthless. I blew the **** out of mine at the track w/ the stock gears and drag radials w/ just bolt ons on the car. Buy a 12 bolt or a 9" so you don't keep wasting your hard earned coin on ****.
