Need help in AZ ! Guys, I might need some help rebuilding my 10 bolt, I am located in AZ / PHX area. I am looking into it, but sounds like the rear end is toast. I currently don't have $3-4 grand for a 9 inch etc. Car is stock and I don't plan on beating it up. Is there anybody in the area that could help, or know a guy ? I really don't want to pay a shop $1500 just for a 10 bolt rebuild. Thanks for any help !!

I may go that route, but I would feel better with new parts, and new 4.10s. do you happen to know any backyard mechanic type guys ? I am pretty mechanical, however I have never worked on a rear end.
you ever hit any west valley car meets? would be nice to meet some F body guys. Once my car is ok to drive hahaha.

M6s' are not easy on rear ends. Since you have a 4 channel ABS & TC, a replacement rear end also has to be of 4 channel. Brake plumbing and the electronics are not compatable between the two styles.Putting a 3 channel rear into your car will cause the ABS dashboard light to be forever on and can't be fixed/changed in the computer as it's a safety function. And only get one from a 98-02 car, camaro or firebird.
Also Aftermarket rear ends have much difficulty in the 4 channel realm, some don't even offer it, some that have it mostly don't work.

The only things I don’t do are transmissions and diffs. I have a few people I can talk to about side work and I’ll get back to you on that. In the meantime I highly recommend finding a decent used rear. Join the groups and make a post, you’ll find one in no time.

It’s really not worth it to put money into a 10 bolt. You are better off finding a temp replacement until you’re ready for an aftermarket rear and especially so being a manual. I used to do most all of the different shows and “gatherings” years ago all over the valley and state but stopped everything when I parked my TA in 2012. It’s almost ready to run but I probably won’t attend many shows. I’d rather do short trips canyon carving.
