Nope, it is listed for sale. I sold my drag wheel/ tire setup. I'm done racing for awhile. Last year was a total failure for me. I bought this car new, and am now on rear end number 6.

The factory rear end went bye bye at 28000 miles and was replaced under warranty.

The warranty replacement went bye bye at about 44000 miles. This time I had a sponsor on ls1gto build me one with an eaton tru trac anc 3.91's. It took about 2 months to get this one.

This one lasted about 1000 miles and was NOISY NOISY...when it developed a high pitch whistle sound I send it back. He said that the rear pinion bearing was wearing funny and swapped my stuff to a new case. It took about a month to get this one.

This one came back and was noisy to start with. I figured that this was just going to be the reality with 3.91's. After about 1000 miles the rear bearing started to make a grindy sound, it started leaking where the stubs go into it, and the tru trac self destructed. This time I decided to try to do it myself with the help of a few experienced friends.

It took about 8 weeks to get a replacement tru trac from eaton, we built it with all new bearings and seals and whatnot. This one instantly started making noise. Pulled it after maybe 50 miles and the rear pinion bearing had failed...AGAIN.

This was the last straw. I found a 40-50,000 stock rear and got it in a few days ago. This one is silent. The factory one and the warranty replacement both made noise. This is the first silent one I have had.

Oh, and for the sad part, I never even figured out to hook up with my "built" rear ends and drag setup. The best 60ft I got on them was a 1.82. I never got to spray them either. I never got to use my new plate I just bought...lol.

Oh well.

Thank you...too bad I didn't get to feel it...lol.

I plan to keep it on the car till it sells. If it doesn't sell then maybe in a few years I will give it another try.

Slick install but far from hidden. Anyone with half a wit could spot the plate and solenoids.
