Make all of your customers feel like they are the best. Thats bullshit if they say "oh well you bought your rear from business B which doesnt sell as many of our rears as business A so we are not going to do anything about it." Am I wrong to say that?

I also hop emy BMR body mount torque arm will reduce stress on the rear as well. I will be insalling SFC bolt on and end up welding them in later on and the TA also has a DS loop.

I would read this now that I'm able to buy a rear. Now I don't know which one to go with
It's a damn shame to spend 2K on a rear and to have the same problems as a 10bolt. It's all GM fault you know

I talked to Scott at DLS and he said he would back his Ford 9 in. rears for 12 months which means if there are any problems with it you send the center section to him and he handles it with Moser. After reading about all the problems with Moser's custmer service I wouldn't buy one any other way.

I have a Moser 12-bolt with 18,000 miles on it. Took it on vacations for long sustained drives, run Nitrous when I feel like it, waste some rubber off the tires at times and the only issue I have had is a leaking seal I damaged during the install. I also found that using certain brands of Limited Slip additive work better.
A big thanks to Scott at DLS for taking the time to answer my questions on the Limited Slip additive. I must admit that I was frustrated after calling Moser about the same thing. I wanted an answer and the salesman on the phone had no clue of how to help me. Maybe the uper managment at Moser is not aware that the people taking calls are all stressed out and just trying to get the phone call done instead of actually helping.
I am only 30 minutes away from Moser and could go there and bug them if I wanted. I picked my 12-bolt up from them directly and the people in the shop were very helpfull and answered all of my questions. The shop was well organized and actually quite clean for the work they do.
There is some input from someone who does not sell Moser products. I can not comment on Strange because I have never had any dealings with them. I can say that I have made large purchases from other vendors and they were patient and helpfull when placing the order but afterwards I was constantly put on hold and given quick get him off the phone answers. I am not here to slam anyone just wanted to point out that Moser is not the only place that has tech support issues.
Just my .02 worth. Might not even be worth that(inflation sucks).

I'm not saying they're all bad. I was more pointing out the bad customer service than a faulty rear end. Just normally if a company ships a bad part, they should replace it. Not to mention all the time on the phone and being on hold or being handed off to someone else and having to tell all the details over and over again only to be told nothing could be done.
The tech support guy I talked to at Moser before I bought it told me the rear would hold deep into the 10's and probably well into the 9's. I fully believe that if set up properly with QUALITY parts then you shouldn't have any problems.
