yup, same here. keeps the differential main caps from walking and spreading under power. it'll help your 10 bolt live longer. use a good synthetic oil too. don't forget the limited slip additive from gm.

Did the TA cover bolt right on with no modification?

Thumbs up

Yes it will bolt up without any modification, however when you order it, ask for the 2 longer bolts that hold the brake line brakets. Make sure you order the "stud kit" for the bearing caps.

I ordered mine from TyBurne.
