Rear End

[sstony]

looks like a grenade went off in my stock rear end. replaced my diff about 6 months ago wtih an auburn. spider gears, springs, everyfucking thing is in peices. so should i go with a set up rear diff with new gears that i can't afford and pray it doesn't happen again in 6 months, or bite the big dick and buy a rear end, which i'm in no position to do so. the smart thing would be to do the rear end, but i'm not a smart guy--so i'm thinking of a new diff with 4.10's and putting street tires back on the rear which could prolly get taken care of by the end of the week. i'm sure a rear end would take some time(weeks) to get one built and sent.

someone make up my mind for me-- i think it would be easier to put a gun to my head at this point.

[BreBar21]

That sucks, Tony. I was so fucked up when I talked to you that I thought you were kidding for the first 10 mins and I barely remember the rest of the conversation. Who set up the gears and everything last time??

[slowLX]

very sorry to hear that tony. we missed you yesterday mang.

maybe you can get dave's old rear end from him for the low? pimp that one till you have some money for a good built unit....? my .02

[Bullhead00]

4.10's are too much Tony. Get a Moser 12 bolt with 3.73's.

[cary00silve]

get an eaton. I have have heard nothing but good things about eaton, and nothing but bad things about auburn.

[onthegasinFL]

i don't know, why don't you just bit a big dick.

[coonbottom]

get an eaton. I have have heard nothing but good things about eaton, and nothing but bad things about auburn.

Would that mess with the ABS?
Ideally you would want a spool, i mentioned that when FlZinc messed up his rear but he couldnt cause of the brakes?
Same situation here: If you can, go with a spool and better axle shafts and forget about it.

[sstony]

Just got off the phone with art at slp and he could sell me an auburn diff with 4.10's for $509 plus shipping. but i feel llike this is gonna happen again within the next 6 months. i'm still undecided on the right thing to do.

[Riceman]

In my opinion and research, staying with the 10 bolt is living on borrowed time. I can hear problems already developing in mine with street tires. As much power as your car makes, with the brutality of a manual transmission, the stock won't hold up. If you don't plan on racing it (yeah, right) and staying on the street, you might be ok with a stock style setup... for a while.

If nothing else, pick up a used/cheep stock diff and start working toward a built 12 bolt :tu:

[brandboZ28]

I agree!

That really sucks, Tony. Im sorry to hear that. Youll get it back on the road and killing people in no time.

[TurboL67]

Ahh man.. Do a 12 bolt.

[Nactall]

sorry to hear that it sucks when something bad happens and you don't have the money to fix it.(a fact I know too well) just bite it and get a new rearend you will be happy you did in the long run, and you will also know that the problem is fixed.

[SS2win]

Sorry bouth that shit. if you could find a 64" flange to flange 9" at the J/Y you could cut the backets off your 10-bolt for a quick fix. $150 j/y rear and some time. maybe... or go big with a strange ready to drop in.

[Tally TransAm]

buy a big rear, youve already rebuilt that thing, dont dump more cash into

i know its a big spend, but its well worth it to go faster, run slicks, and never have to worry about it

[Bullhead00]

Again, 4.10's are too much!! 3.73's are perfect with the gearing in the T56's. Go with a 12 bolt and 3.73's.

[SVT P-Tree]

Hey Tony, it's too bad about your car. I was hoping to see you on Sunday. I would just buy a built rear end, as I was taught: do it right the first time, and you get what you pay for.

[4348rd]

tony that sucks gm 10 bolt are crap

[Davidz28]

built rear, do it.... do it

[J8127]

Get the 4.10's, the people saying its to much didn't see Ryan trap 122 with 4.30's.

Oh and get a 9"

[Greg Kulbick]

get an eaton. I have have heard nothing but good things about eaton, and nothing but bad things about auburn.

My Eaton:

[Tally TransAm]

yeah 4.10's are too much . . .

[brandboZ28]

yeah 4.10's are too much . . .
Mine are ok. :lol:

[slmdLS1]

Mine are ok. :lol:


as are mine. my t56 loves them. :joystick:

sorry tony, its all my fault. i told you when we left my neighborhood i felt that bitch locking and unlocking like ryans locker.

if you buy another rear and it isnt a 12bolt/9"...you end up with another post like this. do it right and bite the bullet now rather then get bent over later when you break it again.

is this gonna cut into the jeep fund?

[sstony]

is this gonna cut into the jeep fund?
itll actually cut into my buy Kinson's car fund. i think i'm gonna throw an auburn with 4.10's in quickly and put the 4 sale sign up

[96s10]

you're selling your car?

[brandboZ28]

you're selling your car?
+5

[sstony]

you're selling your car?
i gladly would if i could find a buyer to get me out of payments and cc debt. but we'll see. i'd need to get the rear fixed and paint the bumper cover and put it on, then throw the line out and see if there are any takers. its easier said than done though

[TurboStutr]

sorry to hear about the busted rear end tony...hope you get it back together alright.

[slowLX]

seriously tony, why not get daves old rear-end? had he sold it already? that will tide you over until you can buy a good built 9" or 12-bolt...?

i'd hate to see you sell the slomaro but if it gets you the fastfox than i'm for it. but you and that SS dominate, why stop now?

becuase 2.73's are not kind to 6 speeds in most ways. tony, ill trade you my heads and cam for the car. :mrgreen:

[tomwid]

I vote for the trading current car to C5 Z06 option. It's only money. You only live once, bla bla. :mrgreen:

[slowLX]

becuase 2.73's are not kind to 6 speeds in most ways. oh, didn't know dave's rear was geared that low.

but still, using that rear until a good one can be had and not selling the SS > selling the SS

[v8minus2]

i have a 12 bolt i'll sell you. 400neg. i'll measure it, but i think it's 64". i also can't remember if it's 3.42 or 3.73. but i'm pretty sure it's posi. let me know if you want to come look at it.

it aint gonna ahve a torque arm mount on it

[brandboZ28]

The verdict is in. Sorry, Tony. You are not allowed to sell your car! :slowet:

[slmdLS1]

it aint gonna ahve a torque arm mount on it

weld one on!

if you sell that you are hearby banned. :joystick:

[sstony]

ok--so i have a replacement auburn on the way. i'm gonna try to take it easy on it until i can find a good deal on a built rear end.

i was also thinking about going to street tires :roll: but i really don't see me enjoying not hooking up at all. so we'll see. DR's prolly going back on and i'll just have to pick and choose my street races wisely :sstony:

[slmdLS1]

you didnt exactly hook and go when it broke...from what i recall. :shrug:

[v8minus2]

why am i banned for selling it? i have no use for it. i just want what i had in the transmission i traded it for. maybe $350 for tony.

[brandboZ28]

I was banning Tony from selling his SS. I couldnt care less what you do what the rear. My bad, I did no specify.

[v8minus2]

i was wondering what was going on. i'm not sure if it's a good price, but i can't give it away. i traded it for a good turbo400.

[dhirocz]

I say go with a Dana 44 irs. That's what I'm going with, and it (mostly) bolts in.

[StrokinIt]

Tony:
Who do you plan on having it installed by? I would suggest Mike @ NationWide Transmission on C.C, NE. Also, did you have to order a new ABS ring for your ring gear? Both times I broke the rear end on my 97 Z-28 I had to replace it. Good luck.

[lsevenl]

That guy with the 408 LT1 came by my store last night and said he had a brand new moser 12 bolt to sell for ~$1500 with 4.33 :)

[sstony]

My stuff come in today--sooner than expected :mrgreen:


hopefully it'll be in today and not howl. if it does i gotta go get it set up right. this is the first time i've been somewhat happy in 2 weeks. hopefuly this one lasts til i can get a better rear end up in there. but if all goes well, i'm gonna be terrorizing some bitchez on the street :wicked:

good to hear man...now i wanna see those intersection cameras catch you goin sideways :kinson:

[willjs7]

I10 run tonight? :)

[slmdLS1]

no more (high)roll races with 4.10's, lol

[slowLX]

no more (high)roll races with 4.10's, loldon't quote me but i don't think top speed is lowed with 4.10's?? he will get farther in 5th...?

[slmdLS1]

don't quote me but i don't think top speed is lowed with 4.10's?? he will get farther in 5th...?
i quoted you, and whoe races in overdrive???

[slowLX]

i quoted you, and whoe races in overdrive???me, but i guess i forget how damn low(high?) those cars are geared...

[Tally TransAm]

5th gear isnt cut for strength, its an overdrive gear. plus the 4th to 5th drop is more extreme than the 3rd to 4th drop

however he should still be able to get right about to 125

[SloNLo_350]

i quoted you, and whoe races in overdrive???
Agreed... thats what breaks stuff.

And with a Ford, you are pushing your luck Travis. :taunt:

[sstony]

carrier cap bolt ownz me :cry:

one more freakin day...hopefully


anybody have one??? julian???

[slmdLS1]

i stole it. :taunt:

[sstony]

any recomended break in on this new ring and pinion set?? i've read about heat cycling them, but i've heard mixed reviews on that. someone told me to run it for 30 min and let it cool down good and then do it again. others said to get in it and don't worry.
i need to do it right.

[sstony]

my car feels slower now and my speedo seems about 20mph off :mrgreen:

frank recomended i haet cycle mine for about 300 miles, not to exceed 55mph for extended time periods, and not to beat on them til the 300 is near end.

[sstony]

so i've got a noise concern more apparent at higher speeds and its only when not given gas. it sounds perfect when throttled but when coasting there is a grinding sound, almost sounds like brake rotors. its no where near a whine sound.

anyone experience this?

[Gt]

I've never heat cycled a set of gears personally.

[slowLX]

I've never heat cycled a set of gears personally.Paul said "get on it"....lol

[brandboZ28]

Mine whine like a mofo while coasting. No grinding though. Did you replace the bearings, Tony?

[towelie]

should have got

[sstony]

I don't think i'm gonna drive it anymore til it gets set up right.

[Tally TransAm]

whine ok
grind bad

[sstony]

i got my car back tonight and i'm pretty happy with it. it whines at higher speeds but atleast no more grinding. launching my car is so much easier now so everyones in big trouble :sstony:


j/p--i hope this one last longer than 5 months :roll: i gotta get serious about a built rear now.

[slowLX]

so 10-sec-tony is back?

[sstony]

it'll prolly break soon cuz its hard to stay out of it. it really does feel faster but i'm just gonna have to learn to drive it all over again :wicked:

btw travis--what the crap is in you avatar

[BreBar21]

btw travis--what the crap is in you avatar

Family Guy. You really need to see about the 30secs prior to that with audio in the show to understand it.

[Greg Kulbick]

Yeah, because looping four screen shots of Stewie's feet is retarded.


Well, pretty fitting I suppose.

Stop sucking so much, Travis.

[Mrs.RBPower]

FASTER, HUH??????

I guess I need more NOS now....or maybe Turbo...

Next Valdosta raceday, let line em up, tony. You should be close to taking my spot.

I'm glad to see that you're back up & running now....

[sstony]

I might be worse off than when i started out. i'll know later today. this a.m. on the interstate, my rear end just all of a sudden started making awful noises. i didn't think i was gonna make it into work :mad:

[StrokinIt]

Take it to Mike @ NationWide Transmission. He can at least let you know whats wrong with it.

[sstony]

pinion bearing seized--prolly welded to pinion and race(sp?) is stripped out and spinning--it wore out my housing pretty good. i'll be searching for a rear end at moultrie.

fuck this POS 10 bolt :mad:

[slmdLS1]

call the junkyard as well, tony. tough luck man.

[sstony]

well i'm tired of waiting for my new gear set to arrive so i got my tech to throw david's old 10 bolt with the 2.73's in until my parts arrive which should be this weekend. hopefully the new 4.10's will be in by next week and i don't burn up my clutch until then.

built rear end is still in the works.

according to the gear calculator that would be a mere 365 mph

[sstony]

car feels good--anything with good torque feels good after not driving my car for over a month. i can definitely tell that its harder to launch--but i haven't really tried a good one yet. but it still pulls strong while rolling--top of 2nd gear read 75mph which was actually slower than i was going.
4.10's in sometime next week and with some new tires, i'm gonna be a street racing fool again.
