Florida Members - Blown Posi/Rear... Rebuild OR Get New Rear?

Recently moved down to Miami & just blew my Posi on stock rear w/ 4:10's .. Should I have it pulled apart to just fix whatever it is that snapped or just worth it to replace the entire rear w/ a 12bolt?

WHAT SHOP SHOULD I TAKE IT TO??

Opinions? Thanks,

think about it. Have you researched 10 bolts in these cars. They are very weak. If you have the money get a 12 bolt and never look back.

replace the damaged parts and every time you drive it,you'll be wondering how long before it breaks again.

Go for the 12 bolt! I killed 3 "10 bolts" before I got smart and got a 9", and that was with a bolt-on only motor.

you can kill 20 10 blts for the price of a 9" depends if you track it a lot, i didnt but i always had a spare 10 bolt in the garage

But if you are going to take it to a shop take it to EFI in Jacksonville. Great group of guys.

If you can afford a upgrade at the moment, then upgrade. If not my last 10 bolt cost me $300 complete, I just unbolted my dead one and slapped the new used one in, only takes part of a afternoon.

I moved down to south fl myself about 6 months ago, anyone know a good shop to handle the work on these ls based cars?

I've been going to "HORSEPOWER SALES" .. Pretty good guys, re-tuned my car runs awesome.

If you decide to get away from the 10 bolt, can you sell me your Torsen diff paddle?

Its the piece of steel that bolts in the middle to prevent the axles from moveing inwards:

Sure let me see if the thing is still in tact

Ok so I ended up taking the car to "Superior Transmission Center" in Boca (highly recommended by a few people) and they told me my center section needs to be replaced / posi etc..

I think I might just go ahead and get a 12bolt cause they want close to 2,000 for the entire job (including parts/labor) anyway.

Can anyone recommend a place to get a new Moser 12bolt for best price +shipping ?

I was looking at thunder racing but don't know who else sells for good deal.

Thanks guys

(Again... opinions welcome)

close to 2k in parts and labor to fix a 10 bolt?

run, run as fast as you can away from that bullshit.

i also would steer away from a 12 bolt. they are ok, but i would prefer, for basically the same money - a strange S60 or a Moser 9"

many have broken a 12 bolt, myself included

I never saw that before on any of my diffs. I'm looking at the torsen I took out of my 00 Camaro and I don't have a paddle. What year was that on? Factory torsen?

I worked for a chevy dealer for almost four years and we don't even charge $2,000. What are they doing for $2,000?

Go to the gears section. I think Exotic Performance might be one of the sponsors. Or ask Sean that has a build thread going who he worked with.

Superior build some sick transmissions.. Good Guys

gators 99 ta don't know shit. 1600.00 for a eaton posi new gears bearings & seals & gear oil & labor is a good price. This is not a backyard shop. They have built many 12 bolts in 8 & 9 second cars that don't blow up. You get what you pay for.Cheap= Junk.

what the fuck is wrong with you? i think i been around this scene and the block a few times junior. you can take your big dog south florida attitude and eat a dick.

just b/c you have ties with a shop doesnt mean you need to run your mouth. anyone who would put 1600-2000 dollars in a 10 bolt is a fucking moron. if you can justify that, then i have some land to sell you up here.

jackass. you can buy entire brand new boltin strange and moser rears for a bit more than 2k.

LOL! You kiss your mother with that mouth? You come on here perfectly depicting florida trash. Doesnt bother me though but one day, I hope it doesnt bite in the ass. Im not goin into the rearend thing too much b/c again you dont know the circumstance surrounding his soliciting the repair of his 10 bolt. Maybe he thought all the parts and labor would of been under a thousand dollars, I dont know. I do know that now the car is taking up a lift and plans have changed. Futhermore there are a few of us that need the lift for our own shit. No big deal and he will spend 3000+ to get a 9" if thats what he wants, in his car. For you to past judgement on that is wrong.

I dont mind the name calling on net. Its all good. If it were in person, that would change things dramatically, but thats not important.

As far as junior. Im good with that. Im a 45yr old successful business owner in south florida. I have raced all my able life. In 1981, I was trapping 170mph at e-town in my alcohol 67 vette. I currently have a moddest 98 SS that runs 10.60 on mucsle. Nothing compared to the wpb fellas. But good enough so my wife doesnt freak.

I hope he gets his car fixed in the way that he would like it. The Guys at superior are stand up and are known very well by masport speed and SRC racing. He will have received quality work with a very fair warranty.

Good night and god bless the united states of america.

so let me get this straight.

you come on here, insulting people who live in florida (let me guess, another unhappy yankee transplant....) and you know everything about everyone. you are certainly know more than me.

back on topic....

is this where i am supposed to be impressed by your wealth? experience? your 10 second (on muscle) car? your 170 mph car back when i was probably shittin myself in diapers? did you really just threaten me?

did you just pull the "fast cars of WPB" card? seriously?

anytime you want to line them up for a friendly grudge race with our fbodys, lets rock. that is unless you feel compelled to beat me up.

i am just punk white trash like the rest of florida. there is no way i could be as successful as yourself. have a good day. i hope the OP is happy. i dont think you would find ANYONE think its a good idea to spend 2k dollars to fix a rear that can be replaced for 250 bucks plus labor all day.

;-)

Now your talkin over here on 3/21? Say $500 or nothing, I dont care your turd and my turd, linem up.

See thing is you always seem to have a short fuse, You need to get out of this hobby and try some yoga, aromatherapy, Xanax or maybe a hooker, IDK

Let me know

we can continue this game back at the farm. no need to continue to fuck up this guys thread.

All the Florida white trash talk aside.

All I want to know is what dose the 2k include?? He wan't talking about spending 2k on a stock carrier was he? The 2k include other work as well or just a replacement stock 10 bolt??

I have a 342 posi rear low miles nice shape can install for $500
if you can get it to Oviedo.

Im sorry but I agree with this.

Since my trans am is my dd If my 10 bolt handgrenaded right now I would use my savings or borrow a couple of bucks to upgrade to 9 inch. They are cheaper to maintain anyway. My buds rear end blew in his brand new gm truck outta warranty though and with managers discount and very cheap labor it still come out to around 1400 dollars. The same dealer quoted him almost 3k. Thats frikin ignorant IMO
