my first moser 12bolt was pretty quiet but the axle tube broke at the center section...my second moser with the same carrier new axles and gear set is the noisiest thing i've ever heard,it is set up correctly...mosers answer was "its normal..it is a performance axle" oh yea it leaks out of every seal and eats torque arms alive. I'm on #5 in a year...the only one thats held up is my spohn and i finally welded the bold to the arm.........should of just built a 10 bolt

Does the tubes come fully welded to the center section?

Moser 12 bolt: 33 spline axles, eaton posi, 1350, richmond gears. The rear has not leaked or ever howled from the gears. It's been flawless for the past 2 years.

It's very exciting to launch really high and know it won't break.

Another vote for Moser here!
Well kinda.I bought the case and axles and then slowly pieced it all together as I could afford and so I was able to build it to my liking.Heard too many nightmares like these here so I wanted to build it myself.Richmond 3.73's,Eaton HD Posi from Randy's Ring & Pinion,Ratech solid pinion spacer,ARP ring gear bolts,Timken bearings,Moser T/A aluminum cover,1350 yoke.Had very little whine at first 10 mile cruise,second and third 10 mile cruise got quieter and gradually went away and is now factory quiet.Very happy with my self built Moser.After 30 mile break in took it to the track on ET Drags with 1.68 short times and dumping at 5500rpm with my old 4 speed she is still quiet as a mouse.1500 miles and still holding.

strange 12 bolt here with all the trimmings with 4.33 gears and it is loud on the highway. The 12 bolt was in I8aford's car before mine. I don't have the ABS or ASR hooked up yet. It hooks and I can live with it. It's not my daily driver.
