another thing I belive also is if you put enough tire back there to dead hook it will break but with my et's 11.5x26x16's it's still hazing 100 to 150 ft. out.
And I can say this also be sure who ever does the gears put s them in correctly thats one of the reason's the break.........if it's not set-up right it will break or whine like a ****.

the 10 bolt was built for the S10 pickups...why GM put them in a 300+ hp v8 performance car is beyond me....


is that a good enough explanation?
Cost me less than $250 to get mine rebuilt. I must have been lucky.

Your opinion sounds more biasly based rather than factual.

Oh and,.....allot of people have abused the hell out of those 10 bolts to a great bitter end. They aren't 12 bolts or 9's but they're stronger than you think.
