i don't really want to deal with buying a 9" from a major supplier and fitment hassles. the EC units fit fairly well out of the box from what i've heard and work impeccably (sp?)

I have a 4 channel 8.8 EC rear end now with 3.73 gear, Eaton posi, T/A gridle, Bolt on axles, and the goodies. I have around 600 miles on it. It is whining now so most likely u will have to align the ring and pinion or replace it if needed. I would concider selling it because i need a 3 channel ABS rear. Send me a PM with an offer if u are intrested.

I believe from all the info I have read that new or used you will need to repair it. It is just a matter of time. You may end up being a lucky one though. I think in the beginning when he was first doing them he had more time to build them(did a better job). Maybe now he has lots of time again because so many had problems. This is just my opinion and please take it as that. I was going to go with a 8.8 also but decided to go Moser 12 bolt instead.
