That 10 bolt would last a week in this car. Thanks though. Its 380 shipped for everything. Plus fluid and some extra cuss words on install.

The only reason this 12 bolt exploded is because those bolts backed out. Its not like I dead hooked the car fro ma 5500 RPM launch and blew the pinion in pieces. The whole reason its blew is because some worthless ass fuck didnt locitite these bolts. Blows my mind.
385 bucks for new ring/pinion/seals/bearings and relucter wheel.

Well. I kinda want to get a new DS also. At least a stock one that doesnt have the defects mine does. I found a Strange Steel stock length DS with 1350 U joints for 300 bucks. Also a stock aluminum DS for 200. Have yo look into these prices. I need to find me a sugar mamma

When Im driving the car, it is always hard. I have my 06 GP to pussy foot around in.

Hey, stuff breaks... If I had broke it at a 5500 RPM dump at the track.... well, I would have had to get towed home. That would not have been cool.

I like my 31 spline axles and TruTrac diff.

Works for me, and handles the power without problem.

Parts will be here Wednesday. Hopfully by next Monday I will be driving it again and going to get my DMH ecutout welded in. This has given me a chance to get some loose wiring together. Change my oil, its been hundred miles since cam install. I will get my 4.11 gear and get rid of that 3.73. That will be fun. Ecut out will be fun. Im trying to see the bright side here.

Well, I am/was very close to pulling the trigger on a 9" from EPP. But, have been thinking. I cant find a ABS ring to save my life. Long story. But, heres what I am thinking.

I already have brand new 4.11's and pinion
Also have a new full rebuild kit.

But, I have tried and tried to find a new ABS ring for the carrier. Im thinking of just leaving it off, not pluging the sensor up and rebuilding the 12 bolt as is. That means, I would have no ABS (no big deal), also... the sensor is used for the LOW TRAC. Just to sense wheel spin. I do not have traction control. Can I leave this ring off and not run into problems? I really want a 9", but could really stand to save the cash... Im probably moving out of state shortly for a new job. Wouldnt hurt to have some spare change laying around.

Also, If anyone is looking for a 12 bolt housing and axles that are both in great shape, PM me.

Does that reluctor ring bolt on in between the ring gear and differential? if so, then leaving it out might give you some issues when setting up the gears.
If not then, a red ABS light and no ABS operation should be your only problems.

Yes, The ABS ring bolts (gets samwiched) between the posi/carrier housing and the ring gear. IF I was to try and re-use this rear end, I would just reuse this ABS ring after TIG welding and file fitting new teeth. Not having that ring in there would mean major problems with the set up for sure.

Im 90% sure im just buying a 9" tomorrow from EPP. Talked to the dude for a good 15 minutes today. Really cool dude. If anyone wants a great deal on a peffect 12 bolt housing and 30 spline axles's with C-Clip eliminators, PM me. The 12 bolt is going on Ebay tomorrow. I will probably post it on here also. I also have the Posi/carrier. I would not hesitate to use the carrier whatsoever. Just finding a ABS ring is difficult. My reasoning behind buying 9" is simply to be done with it. Its just money. Ill make more.

**Cutlass** · 05-11-2009, 05:15 PM

cool. I'm surprised you can't get a ring from Moser or whoever built that rearend

**Hi-Po** · 05-11-2009, 05:27 PM

That last person I want to see or talk to is the person who built this rear end. I will end up with 15 to life if I meet that dumbass.

**Hi-Po** · 05-12-2009, 01:10 PM

4.11 gears
Tru Trac
31 Spline
Adjustable Control Arm re-location brackets.

Whats that smell? You smell that?

Smells like money being leaving that bank account

Should be here Monday or Tuesday.

Bob at EPP is a great guy to deal with.
