So its true after all .. 
.. Travis (the beach god of beer swilling 
) told me you were a "strange" dude .. 
. 
(idiot)! 
Broken 12 bolt!
If I was keeping an f-body and I was doing a differential investment.... my only choice would be the Strange S60. 
Have you seen the specs/mass on the parts? Plus they're set up for standard torque arm hook-ups, with more standard features, for the same price or less than most 12-bolts!

Thanks for all the information guys! I'll probably stick with the 12 bolt, but with better parts. I'll just have to get somebody who know's what the f**k there doing to set it up next time. Just hope it will stand up to the 6000rpm launch on the juice!!!!!!!!

Who ever is reading this don't buy moser products, because they have the worst customer service in the buisness. Total dick heads! The rearend was set up from them and after it broke I took it apart and the passenger side carrier bearing was not pressed on and one of the bearings on the pinion was not pressed on. There blaming it on richmond gears, but the fact is they set this 12 bolt up so lose it came apart on me on my second pass on slicks. Now they are blowing me off and doing nothing about the rearend. There saying it's my fault because I own a 6 speed car. There saying that there 12 bolts are for street application's only, and if that was the case I could have saved myself $2700 and rolled the 10 bolt! Anybody else had a problem with there 12 bolt/ 6 speed car? I personaly think there feeding me a bunch of sh*t

! Running a moser 12 bolt with 4.10's before i installed the rear end i took it to a shop and had them go through everything and recheck all the clearences, rear end is perfectly sound after 20 + passes and 15k miles. My brothers strange 12 bolt had the pinon nut come off and tore the gears up.

I belive that your 12 Bolt is a total piece of garbage. Since it is trash and good for nothing I will be glad to come remove it out of your way for you- free of charge of course
