Ok I have read alot about the 10 bolts breaking. I have a 10 bolt with auburn differential and 3:23s. If I change the axles to mosers and do anything else to it, will it hold up.

:D Yep no matter how much money you throw at a 10 bolt its still the same size. Its always better to put that money towards something that will hold power.

That's correct. Axles aren't really what fails it is either the ring/pinion, ring bolts or the carriers. Save it for a real rear.

All the mods in a 10-bolt will only be a band-aid since the main problem is the small diameter ring and pinion gear... save the coin for a 12bolt,S60 etc.
