Finally broke the 10 bolt.
So ready to pull the trigger on a replacement.
Anyone know of a good deal on a Strange 12 bolt?
I will consider a 9" if the price is right.

I've been pondering the idea of a new rear end myself.

The best price that I know of might be from a group buy offered by Kaltech here on LS1Tech. In the Sponsor group buy section.

One of our other great vendors Midwest Fabrication will price match.

You can pickup one of these from Midwest Fabrication for about the same cost as a Strange 9" maybe even a little bit less.

I just purchased a Moser 9" from Kentucky Turbo. Send Derek@kyturbo a pm and enjoy the price he offers!

Thanks, I have already talked to MWC, a bit more than I want to spend.

Sent an email to Kaltech, I will send one to KT.

Maybe I will also send those guys an email regarding a Strange 12 bolt.

Speed Inc has good prices on the non-fab stuff.

I found this in the classifieds. It's a Moser though.

Thanks but don't want a Moser 12 bolt. Don't like the way the bolts are for the Torque Arm.

Ed Blown Vert

Thanks, I'll check with them.

I can understand the Moser torque arm situation, I'm not fond of it either.

One thing I like about the Moser for my use, is the Truetrac.
It doesn't appear that Strange offers a Truetrac on thier 12 bolts.

That's true about Truetrac and Strange. So far so good with my Eaton posi though, but compared to some guys on here I drive like an old lady haha.

LOL, I mostly just cruise around.

Once in a while I like spirited driving on a curvy canyon road, a little strait line
roll fun, getting a little sideways in turns is fun too. None of the 3 to 5K launches though.

Does your Eaton posi negotiate turns and corners well ?

So I wonder if a base model MWC is still stronger than a beefed up 12 bolt?

bearcatt

iTrader: (41)

That's an interesting question. I can't answer it honestly.

The base Midwest comes with 31 spline axles

The Strange seems to come standard with 33 spline axles ?
With a spool, I would think the Strange 12 bolt would be pretty damn strong.

For drag racing, most guys seem to like the 9 inch in general or the S60 Dana.
The 9inch and S60 seem to just hold up better

This isn't about the Base a Midwest but good info regarding 12bolt vs 9inch.

I'm not a drag racer so I'm thinking the Strange with Eaton Posi maybe ?


Once thing about the Midwest 9 is that it looks cool. LOL

Everyone I talk to keeps trying to get me to get the MWC. If I was going to race it alot like I did before, I would.

Thats' why I can't justify the cost. I can get a used 12 Bolt right now for 1800.

bearcatt

iTrader: (41)

I would go with the used 12 bolt.

Yeah, that's pretty much the way I drive too, once-in-a-while I'll dump the clutch and burn some rubber to keep those pesky Mustang boy racers in their place.

Sure, that's the beauty of the Eaton posi, it's twisties-friendly.

The reason everybody keeps trying t talk you into MWC's rear is because Eric is the ****!

Ed Blown Vert

iTrader: (2)

And I am sure it is. But he quoted me $3700 for his set up. Ouch!

The $1800 sure looks alot better.

That's good to know, it looks like the Eaton posi should be plenty durable and streetable with Strange 12 bolt.
