Complete New Rearend: Place to purchase the whole thing?

jonwrong · April 12th, 2010, 02:32 PM

I have a Saleen Series II supercharged 2000 GT. The original diff has 80k miles and is showing signs of wear. It lock much better when turning to the right than the left.

After much reading I decided on a Detroit TruTrac, so I would never have to worry about it again. It's tough to find one with 28 spline axles, so I thought I would go with 31 spline axles. While I am in there, I should at least change the gears. I don't want to go too steep due to the positive displacement blower, so I settled on 3.55s (a debate for another day but I will take suggestions).

I also decided to due wheel bearings for good measure. Now, I need all the install hardware and the labor, which I am capable of doing. I have the tools. But it got me thinking... With all of this, is there a complete assembly sold somewhere that would just drop in? There has to be something like what I want that renders the labor of having someone else put it together free due to the use of so many new items.

It would be much easier for me to pull the trigger if I didn't have to undertake another big project.

Ever though of buying another rear and doing the work to the seperate rear. Then you can drive your car and do whatever while you work on the rear on the bench.

Then when your done sell your old rear.

AGREED! I do have an 08 Toyota Tundra for downtime issues, though. So, I guess I could just plan on not driving the Mustang for longer than I would really like.
