yah... this has broke me(the rear and wheels), even though I got the rear wholesale.... I won't be doing anymore car related stuff for a while.... unless my money tree sprouts.....but really the parents giving me a full ride and roof over my head through college helps a lot... that way I can pour it all into my slow *** junk.... I will probably have to sell my junk when I have to find my own place to live... unless I can find some kind of swank job

My brother-in-law and I just put a Dana S60 in his TA about a month ago. The gears were setup wrong and whined (they sent us a new ring and pinion) and the cover leaks (gaskets suck).
We took it to Eatonton(1/8th mile strip) on MT ET Street Radials and now all of the driver side wheel studs are bent.
That being said its a tough rear-end, I would recommend the aluminum cover, and go ahead and get better wheel studs (they're actually 120,000 PSI bolts from strange).
I would still recommend it over a 12 bolt and a 9 inch for the strength of it's Posi for a street car. We were leaving @ 5500.
