Another 10 bolt dead, with pics
#7
Recent weeks when pulling out slowly or going around a turn slowly it would almost lockup for a millasecond or something. As if I had a spool, prob. because the teeth were already chipped at that point on the spider gears. When I was doing a run and went to grab 4th it just died, guess it couldn't handle the pressure from the chirping of tires or what would be again. Just cause it's whining doesn't mean it's going to go, could be gears if you changed them recently? I would suggest just changing the gear oil, maybe go thicker to like 90w140 and put the additive in. That should quiet it up.

I did the same thing to my 10 bolt last nov!
Spider gears crunched, only for me what did it was "leaving the car in 1st gear" coasting around in a parking garage letting the engine keep the car speed. It snapped in the turn and then felt like the rear was "clicking" when turning tight and triggering differential between the wheels.
3.90 gears, used, installed 3 years ago. Replaced the carrier and all has been well. Funny how weak the size of the rear makes it.

Ouch! looks like it chewed your axle, what kind of HP/TRQ u making? F*CK! after seeing all this carnage I'm having nightmares now of rollin through the burnout box- Launching then BAM! It's done. I want at least a couple of passes after my motor breaks in! I'm thinking 15" wheels and Drag radials will surely make quick work of the 10 bolt.
