I have a 99 silverado with a 5.3. Tryin to find a rear diff that will take some abuse. Have had the truck 2 years and broke the spider gears twice and broke some teeth off the ring gear a few months ago. Any suggestions?

get a dana 60, crazy strong
is this a stick shift truck? I'm really surprised you are breaking the rear.
TRUTRAC all the way!!!!! You won't be dissapointed :thumb:
WTF are you doing to BREAK the gears--and not the yoke, output shaft, etc??? Towing 10,000 lbs????Quote:

HAHA. J/K. Maybe. :dancenana:
its a auto. I put a new auburn limited slip in it the second time the spider gears broke. and replaced the ring and pinion with one from Yukon gear. Its 4.10 gears. I broke the teeth right of the ring gear screwing around in the rain. It is on the second trans soon to be third!!
Yeah, typically when the rearend goes, it takes the tranny with it unfortunately.
Make sure to get some strong gears with a good locker.
Do I need to go bigger than the little 8.625in 10 bolt? or can I build that to take some abuse?
The 8.6 10 bolt can handle enough power to get you into the 11s.
