Rear I personally want to congratulate youon a job well done. You had to be putting power down and launching it pretting freaking hard to break a rear in an automatic. In any case I would look around on our vendors and if you cant find a good deal on a rear end let me know I am bout to buy one myself and maybe if a couple people get them then we can all get a good price. It's a moser 9" with any gears on the list, trac-loc posi, all new bearings, direct bolt-in, NO ABS however or TCS, It's the real deal for about 1750-1800 shipped

i think it was the DR's that did it, lol. i went with a Midwest 9", so i'd say go with a 9" of some sort for the strength. what kind of driving? street driving, or drag strip only?

Check out the Moser rear at the link above. Shipping is included in the price. Bob

wow... not a bad deal there. i wouldn't get crazy with that stock 9 inch case at the dragstrip though. you may just end up with a chunk of the stock case between the gears and cause a lockup.
it comes down to this... you get what you pay for. a stock 9 inch case will get you by for a while, but i would still upgrade it sooner than later if you have enough power to need a 9 inch.

and chances are, if you break a case, the only thing you *may* salvage out of the center section is the diff unit. even the driveshaft will be junk. so figure in the cost of the cheaper gear. you saved about 300-500 depending on what and where you buy it. the driveshaft is gonna cost 300 minimum. now you need to repair and upgrade the center section. thats gonna cost 800-900 to buy parts and have it setup using your posi unit. now, youve spent 1200 to repair what you spent 800 on originally to save only 300-500. you now have a 2000.00 center section that still has a posi unit in it. i can sell the baddest aluminum center section on the planet and a driveshaft with it for 2000.
now what do yo think of that stock center section?
i know not everybody has 2500-3500 to spend on a good rearend from the start. but the point i'm making is don't go out and buy a Moser 9 and stuff it with a gear setup you think is bullet proof just because it is a 9 inch ford. they break just like your 10 bolt.

Wow, congrats to "most" of the vendors with some useful information instead of the usual "we sell moser, call me for a great price" that we all normally see. You can see the stand out vendors on here now......good job guys....
