Default My mistake

Well about three weeks ago i asked you guys about fixing my 10bolt or buying a 12bolt or a 9inch. Well against what you guys told me i decided to fix the 10 bolt. I already had richmond 4.10's in it so figured they would be fine. I purchased a eaton posi, diff cover, main studs for the caps, and got the axle tubes welded. I figured that would be a good setup for the summer if i didnt take it to the track much wrong. I had 315 street tires on my factory WS6's for a week then put a new set of 315 nittos on it. The rear only lasted anouther week. Blew the ring and pinion to peices on the street on a 1st to 2nd shift. God why did GM ever make this cursed 10blt. So this goes out to people that are thinking about fixing their 10blts up. DONT DO IT IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY. If you have to patch it back together just put cheap stock stuff in it.

The bigger the gear, the weaker they are. 3.23's will last a lot longer than 4.10's. But yeah, our rears are weak.....
