I bought mine from Scott. He is a good guy and I have received great service from him. He always has had time to answer question etc.

I also ordered a 3.89 9", 31 spline, detroit tru-trac with a Strange center section. He assembled mine for me since I'm local, and I picked it up myself.

Their website is down. Don't worry at all about Scott/DLS. Great guy to deal with. He stood behind my 9" even after having it over a year. A good guy to deal with, knows his business and stands behind his work.

i bought mine from scott also. i just finished installing it today. Scott answered all my questions. so far my rear has very very little whine noise, but thats considered normal and should go away after the break in. over all scott is a great guy to deal with.

I ordered the exact same rear end. Scott was great to deal with but unfortunately my 9" does whine a bit, kind of a howl at freeway speed. Changed the fluid after a few hundred miles break in but the whine is still there. When I broke it in I followed all the proceedures to break it in. I have maybe 500 miles on my 9" right now.... maybe itll quiet down more in time?.?.?

Im kind of chalking it up to the fact that there are some sacrifices when buying a beefy performance rear end. Although one of the reasons I did purchase my 9" from DLS was all the good I heard about getting quiet rear ends. I guess I just had bad luck or something. Im not sure what I could do at this point... Im not about to yank it out to send it back unless is breaks.

Id still buy from Scott because I know that if something does go wrong, or if the whine Im hearing is not normal, he will take care of it. The number one reason I went with DLS is the customer service.... with his experience a close second.

I'm planning on stopping by with my car this week and have him look at the por-15 i painted the rear with. My rear whines a bit also under load, but nothing I can't live with. I will see if I can get him in the car and see what he thinks.

I bought a 12 bolt from Scott earlier this year. He said it might be loud cause its a 12 bolt. Well Scott must have built it perfectly cause its no louder than my 10 bolt, and it does not pop whenever I make a turn. Scott was easy to talk to and always was willing to answer any questions I had. His website has been down for a couple months now, but do not worry, he is a great builder.

We race what we sell and we strive to be the best in the business. We have had very few issues and the ones we have had were taken care of 100%. Gear noise is common but we have yet to have any gears fail. I am sure you will be pleased if you let us handle your build.

Scott is the man, if u just take the time and break in your rear in nice and easy, and change the fluid after the first 500-600 miles, your gears will be pretty quite....Im running 4:11's in my 9 inch and they are quieter than my stock 10 bolt was brand new

I have some experience with building web sites. But yours is using agora shopping cart and that cgi script is being used to redirect to other pages. I don't really know how to do this. I could help you get a simple page up easily. Do you still own your domain name?

PM me if you want some help with getting something up. I could have helped you a bit today.

No, lost the name but bought a few more from godaddy. I bought a .net .org .biz .info I also bought drivelinesolution.com just for the hell of it. Working with a guy right now from San Diego, brother's friend, that has been around since the net was born. If he can't do it I'll have to build a new site.

Let me know if you need some help getting something up. Like I said I have done a couple web sites and one for a guy selling HO model cars. I know how to create forums and simple cgi stuff. I have just never done a cgi shopping cart. If you want a quick page up for each of the those addresses as an information page that is really easy to do.
