After I installed a new Strange 12-Bolt, I opened up the 10-Bolt and found a busted diff carrier with chewed up spiders
Surprisingly, everything else was still in tact, so I'm just gunna weld it up into a spool and use it as a spare

Good thing the 12-bolt is on emergency standby though...

It's pretty silent when accelerating, but whines a bit during decel....
Also, when coasting under light throttle, there's a hefty moaning at a certain sweet spot
I've grown used to it, but I've had dozens of people take a ride and ask "What's that noise?"
Oh yeah, it's clunky as hell when making tight turns, but I've got other problems as my ABS sensor recently got munched by the reluctor ring

I broke the 8.8 in my GT (4.10's, welded tubes) cruising at 70mph on the freeway! Its mechanical, any number of things can kill em'
(I was driving along and int started whining faintly, then over 20 miles it grew LOUD and I pulled over. Found out the bolt in the back had backed out some and the ring/pinion were whining like mad, mechanic put a longer/better bolt in, locktight-red and it was fixed...not really BROKE, but....)

Mine broke when I went to pass someone. They tell me that the right rear tire flew up in the air. That's what I hear anyways. The last thing I remember is that I was in the passing lane. Three days later I woke up in the hospital. Guess we went for quite a ride. Will post pics of my poor baby asap!!!
