So many people just give up on the 10 bolt and put their money into a 12 bolt, I guess. Moser's 12 bolt has a very bad reputation though. A thorough check-out at season's end of a beefed-up 10 bolt will give continued good service---but you can't do those over 4500 clutch sidesteps! WJ

Besides, if you are a true gear head, you like to try and make things that you have work better until they go. Or fix it again. Some times that's part of the fun (unless your stuck in bufu and need a tow).

Just an update... My new heavy duty Yukon axles are scheduled to arrive later today, but while removing the differential last night in an attempt to get everything ready for reassembly I discovered a small crack in the differential extending from the bearing flange into one of the windows on the carrier. I refuse to spend any more funds trying to upgrade this rear end. It would cost $1200.00 - $1500.00 to do everything possible to upgrade this rear end and I would still have to worry about it. I will go ahead and go with the majority and replace it with something a little stronger. It still amazes me that GM started using this piece of crap in 82 even though all previous F-Bodies used either the 12 bolt or the 8 1/2" 10 bolt and they continued producing the 8 1/2" 10 bolts for all of the 1/2 trucks until just recently.

Torsen T2R. It's a machined steel case carrier, instead of the cast iron case carrier, which you cracked. You probably have a Torsen T2. What yr. car again? The Torsen T2R is $545. You can buy the T2's for $100-150 on e-bay, etc. The T2R is relatively new and was never used in stock GM production vehicles. Or, you can try a Auburn "Pro" carrier..... WJ

close to 400 hp, about 375-390 ft lbs its an m6 and stock gears 3.42's.....its not a daily driver and sees the track a few times a year. I would just like to be able to launch at about 4500 or so and not worry about breaking the axles or carrier (thinking of going with an eaton)
