Ok I have a stupid question?

Why are you so hot to buy a complete rear end and rebuild it? I kept coming up with the same question when you wanted to buy the one I had? Unless you are looking for a Spare it seems like there are some wasted dollars moving around?

ok well i bought a complete rear end out of an 02. it only had 7500 miles on it for 300. i just don't have 2,000 layin around for a 12 bolt. so for the rear i just bought i wanted to put another 3.73 in this one because thats the gear i had in it to begin with. i just wanted to know if i can build a 10 bolt with all new internals to hold more power then stock. since i have and extra housing now.

OK.

What I would do is just swap the new one in so your car is going and then you can save up. That way you are not wasting your cash for better projects

Then yes you will have your spare to beef up if you like or save up for the 12 bolt

You can beef up the stock one so far but that is it. Strobe light just took out a completely beefed up 10 bolt with an automatic!

So I would just stuff it in and cut my loses for now
