rearend

The sweetest part of the deal was it was one mile from where I work. I just drove over there and picked it up. SHWEET!

Wow! How do yall know which cars you can get one out of?

If it has a 10 bolt 8.5" rear end and has the same number of axle splines as yours it will fit.

ok i know i sound like a dumbass but how do i know how many axle splines i have?

Auburn High Performance Series Limited-Slip Differentials
PN 542022
8.5 & 8.6, 10 Bolt
All GM products with 8.5 & 8.6 ring gear
2.73/up
30 Teeth (Axle spline count)
1989 - 1998

Thanks for all the help, man.

I had an Eaton Posi with 456s in my truck. The Eaton held up fine. As I stated in another thread, I broke the ring gear & transmission output shaft.

If you have the coin & you don't wan't to worry about the rear end, do what I did.
I had Currie Enterprises build me a Dana 60 with a Detriot Locker & 456s, I also dumped the problematic stock rear brakes & installed a Wilwood 4 Piston rear brake kit.

I was going to use the GM 14 bolt rearend, but due to the 14 bolt's axle bearing problem, I decided on the Dana.

That would be sweet, but I dont have the cash for it...
