10-Bolt Carnage I pulled my old rear-end apart to get the Gears out of it to sell..this was my old 10-Bolt that I had in the Car.
The Gears were Motive 3.73's, the Carrier was an Auburn Pro Series rated for 500hp, 500ft/lbs torque.
This was after about a dozen mid 1.5 60ft's on my ET Streets..
I though it was kinda interesting..
When I pulled the cover off of the Car the first time it happened a couple of them chunks fell out so there was more..lol

Damn, some mid 1.5 60s, You got lucky.
when I had the ten bolt in my 6 speed car(well it used to be a 6 speed) i ran 275 60 15 MT Drs and still had the 3:42 gear(actually the cover was never off) I made probably 20 passes in it, Launching almost to the rev limiter and dumping the clutch. It made some weird *** noises sometimes but never came apart. guess I was lucky.
I went with the 9 incher as well, with a spool. I hope that was the last of my rear axle buying days

Here's some pieces of an OEM LT1 auburn-style posi unit out of my 4th Gen. I just took it apart today...
There's a split almost completely through the carrier. I'll take some more pictures tomorrow when I get it out of the housing.

3700+ lb car/driver + Mid 400 RWHP & TQ + low 1.5 sixty foot times hanging the hoops = 13 passes. That's longer than I thought it would last to be honest.
I hear the newer torsen style carriers last longer, we shall see...
