    Rearend time .help wanted.

    Hey guys i havent been on in awile .Working like hell .I have been popping on and off tho catching some info.so heres the deal .I blew my rear end about a month ago ,and im sick and tired of replacing them ,so im looking for a somewhat bullet proof rearend for my rearend.I dont really want to go the route mic did unless i have to ,welding perches ,etc.but i want a solid setup. This is what i know so far .I can use a rearend from a 05 + ss or vmax vho.My only issue is 1 is it rock solid cause its still a g80? 2. id like to keep my 4.10s. do they make something heavier or bigger without huge modifications? If i end up doing the 05 + rear ,seems like i should use a posi unit in it eaton ,trutrac,etc correct ?it just seems like i might be able to take a diff route for the money piling up by the time i do that,maybe build or get something stronger.Is theyre like a heavy duty rearend ,8 lug that i could get 6 lug axles for?I think allen did that if im correct.I dont mind some mod work ,but the easier the better obviously.Is theyre a 14 bolt setup maybe,that i can swap brakes and etc and make work.Help me figure this out guys.Ive been pondering this around for awile and now its time to get serious,i miss my truck.lol thanks

    G80 is the generic option code....it doesn't mean the design and strength is the same for different axles.

    OIC. i htought g80 in genaral is garbage.i read that the g80 in the bigger ones come apart also .i guess i was thinking it was the center section.so what yure telling me is a g80 option in the larger rear is probly stronger ?.I just wanna know all my possibilities and weigh em out .

    The bigger G80 will also break with a little abuse.

    seems like we could use a sponsor that builds good rearends.

    yeh i need rear help alright.lol.Im soory red but you really didnt clarify my response.Is it a 14 bolt or 12 in the ss vho o5 plus .and is the the only yr /appl thatll work?Im good with that and a trutrac if so .I was under the impression ss vho was a 12 bolt.I didnt want to go with 12 bolt if i didnt have to ,i feel more comfortable with the 14 bolt.thanks. O yeh i think im askin too much here but is theyre any chance of getting any of these in 4.10 ratio? or am i stuck with 3.73 factory setup with these rears?of course when i install trutrac i could do gears,but the bill is starting to add up ya know,so if it was possible to find a 4.10 ratio ,id like to .thanks again

    The 14 bolt axle is what you want but be sure you tell them you want the 1/2T HD or 3/4T light duty rear axle not the full 1T 8 bolt axle.
