rear end

Elder · October 25th, 2007, 01:06 AM

I had the car out tonight with the intent of it being the last time of the yr due to weather. i managed to blow 2 holes through the diff cover and basically explode all componets in the rear end. now.. do i rebuild the 8.8 or put in a 9 in??

rebuild it with 31 slipine and keep the 8.8. They can be built super strong.

MustangMatt96GT · October 25th, 2007, 12:23 PM

I wouldput a locker in there so u can go from spool to t loc mode. When I grenade my rear end I'm putting it in. I'll link it when I get homefrom school.

Well ethier way it is going to cost the same way. locker has to be bought for 28 or 31 and they are the same price, and axles are the same price 31 or 28 too. And if you want the diff that is in that link you have to go with 31. What i really like about that diff is it wont wear out, its all gear driven so it will last on many many high RPM slick launches.
