Default Rearend weight

I'm wanting to know the weight of a stock 12 bolt rearend (say for instance MOSER 12 bolt)

and the weight of a Moser 9inch


and the weight of the stock 10 bolt pos,lol.



Trying to make a decision on which I'm going to buy, we have a deal on the 9inches and I want to know the weight differences.

thats cool man, i wouldn't have taken it as rudeness...its just i always heard about people bitching about the weight of a 9inch versus a 12 bolt

just wondering what the big difference was

if it was something like 90-150lbs then that would make a difference but if its less than 100lbs what the hell why not get a good deal on a 9inch

The Moser 12 bolt weighs 188 lbs, we'll have the weight of a 9 inch Monday, although it has a spool which is not comparing them on par. The weight difference between the two is not that big of a deal. Bob

The pinion angle's the big deal.

I just meant that it has more of an impact on hp loss than does the weight.

dont worry about the slight weight difference, and go with the 9" and be done with it. I was in your situation a while back, as well.
